What is Tufting?
Rug tufting is a hands-on, creative process in which you “color with yarn” using a tufting gun that pushes yarn through the fabric to create colorful, textured designs. At Common Thread, it’s easy to learn, beginner-friendly, and seriously satisfying — you’ll walk away with a finished piece you designed yourself!
