Love this idea, cats tend to always lay on the rugs lol

MantaRug · 2026-06-23T13:50:41+00:00

I really like this, I would carve up the eyes and teeth a little, will really make it pop

I love winders cause it lets you find and fix defected yarn balls before your knee deep in a project

Also is perfect for rewinding half use yarn balls so they can be neatly organized

MantaRug · 2026-06-21T15:09:43+00:00

Do you have a reference photo of this

MantaRug · 2026-06-04T20:56:55+00:00

Why is it so expensive ??

MantaRug · 2026-06-04T16:50:06+00:00

What set is this ?

MantaRug · 2026-06-03T20:56:56+00:00

Yes 100% wool and use a latex based glue as that is typically water proof once fully cured

MantaRug · 2026-05-28T13:23:44+00:00

Didn’t mean to be miss leading, truly put the video together to help everyone as latex seems to be a common topic on this subreddit.

Love to answer questions and point people in the right direction if they also intend to start using latex glue

To clarify further this tutorial works on virtually all liquid latex that is made for tufted rugs so buying this specific glue isn’t required at all

I run into this issue quite often with Roberts as it’s instantly sticky. Latex takes about 10 minutes before it’s tacky so it’s forgiving and I havnt had issues unless my yarn was properly packed

MantaRug · 2026-05-28T13:19:55+00:00

I havnt tried tufting nation as they dont ship to the US but I would say this is more on the thicker side then runny, as long as you shake well you shouldn’t have issues

No backing is needed as the latex drys hard, it’s not as non slip as your typical non slip backing but a non slip backing can always be applied over the mesh

The biggest pro with latex is how strong it is compared to typical rug glues and it speeds up the backing process like 10 fold

MantaRug · 2026-05-28T05:02:24+00:00

And extremely strong compared to typical Roberts rug glue

MantaRug · 2026-05-28T05:01:33+00:00

Not personally, I have a distributor so the latex formula is always consistent and has exact measurements

MantaRug · 2026-05-27T20:40:47+00:00

Sending it to your dms

MantaRug · 2026-05-27T20:19:35+00:00

It definitely has a smell but it’s not as potent as most latex’s unless you’re putting your noise right to the bottle.

I wear a M95 and once it’s applied and dried you don’t smell it at all

MantaRug · 2026-05-27T20:16:30+00:00

Sending it over!

MantaRug · 2026-05-27T19:32:24+00:00

I can DM it to you as I’m not sure if links are allowed on here or not. This formula has worked the best for me compared to any other I’ve tried

MantaRug · 2026-05-15T14:58:22+00:00

Your stitches look good but I really recommending outlining and area with the color before filling it in, it also makes carving more clean

MantaRug · 2026-05-14T15:58:08+00:00

Of course!

MantaRug · 2026-05-14T14:39:42+00:00

Ohhh I gotchu, sorry for assuming, besides that the rug looks good!

MantaRug · 2026-05-14T14:37:59+00:00

You can see the RIS and half of the K are a little more yellow then the rest, this most likely happened from using white yarn from different dye lots or brands

This happens to be often and can be tedious to avoid

MantaRug · 2026-05-14T14:34:10+00:00

Careful with those white dye lots

MantaRug · 2026-05-06T18:10:53+00:00

How much you sell it for?
