Cut pile rug production image

The AK-1 cut pile tufting gun allows you to create rugs with cut pile on the surface. If you use wool yarn or 4-6 strand acrylic yarn (MB210) sold in our shop, you can create different expressions and enjoy different textures than with the soft acrylic yarn included in the set.

Examples of soft acrylic yarn

Our soft acrylic yarn is made of eight thin strands twisted together, which gives it a soft texture when woven. It can be used in one or two strands, and is affordable and versatile, making it a popular yarn in our store. Please purchase your favorite colors separately.

Examples of wool yarn production

Our wool yarn has a calm color and a luxurious texture. It is suitable for double ply. It is made of 100% durable Romney wool, so it is suitable for practical rugs.

MB210 Acrylic Yarn Production Examples

This is a high-quality acrylic yarn produced for tufting rugs planned by Miyoshi Rugs. It is actually used in the rugs produced by Miyoshi Rugs. Since it can be used with 4 to 6 strands, this yarn is easy to reproduce complex designs such as gradations.
