The texture of our acrylic rug yarn mimics the look of wool yarn, at a fraction of the price of 100% wool yarn 🙂 Our 100% acrylic rug yarn is the most affordable professional rug yarn you can find in the market.

Awesome Fibre 100% Acrylic Rug Yarn is manufactured specifically for carpet making – it is strong, durable and relatively crush-resistant compared to knitting yarn (try stepping on rug made from our rug yarn, they bounce back!). If your tufted artwork is meant for the floor, we definitely recommend using rug yarn instead of knitting yarn, our rug yarn is ideal for heavy foot traffic area and will last a long time 🙂

We recommend using 3-4 strands of Awesome Fibre 100% Acrylic Rug Yarn with our cut pile tufting gun and punch needle or 2-3 strands with our loop pile tufting gun and all our manual tufting tools. Rug yarn is typically thinner compared to knitting yarn, and will need anywhere from 3-5 strands to use with a tufting gun. Thinner yarns contributes to less yarn wastage in rug making process

All our rug yarn comes in cone allowing you to feed your yarn consistently for best tufting results. It is also great for use in punch-needle embroidery, weaving, and other textile crafts. All yarns in this listing are ready stock and will ship immediately.
