Beginner to Pro: 12 Months Tufting (50 Magic Carpets!)

Tufting has transformed industrialised carpet making into a wild new creative medium, retrofitted for the home and studio environment. Fuelled by online tutorials, DIY hacks, and duct tape ingenuity, I was drawn to tufting's vibrant, chaotic energy.

I tufted daily over an 12 month period, progressing from total beginner to seasoned pro. It culminated in a collection of 50 rugs that I've called Magic Carpets. In the spirit of the tufting community, I've made a video sharing some of the valuable things I've learned.

If you're new to tufting or knee-deep in yarn, I hope this gives you some inspiration, tips, and maybe even a few laughs. 🧶
