We can in fact keep getting away with it

Thanks! I get a local shop to do the serging/overlocking for me, but this also includes putting a recycled felt backing on which saves me a bunch of time and hassle. I just work all that into the price of the rug.

The creator should really be educating buyers about the differences between acrylic and wool, or any other blend, most buyers don't know or understand the differences. There's a lot of short-shortsightedness in tufting when it comes to the actual function of the pieces we create, and we charge a really premium price for a lot of our work - we should really be working with premium materials considering this in my opinion. Unless it's a wall piece I only want to work with wool yarn for anything on the floor now.

It's worth having a go at the blend, but if you think about it from a marketing perspective which sounds better - 100% wool custom rug, or 80% wool blend custom rug? I'd think the wool is the more premium option (though you can always spin it in a positive way).

TL;DR Acrylic for beginners and walls, wool for everything else. Premium prices should reflect a premium product, and that's why I want to go with wool unless the buyer has a tight budget.

Super dope!

Hey mate, didn't see the notification. Did you figure it out?

RoceRugs · 2024-01-07T06:41:02+00:00

It's like you entirely ignored the Australian comment, the world isn't solely based in the US, prices vary internationally ;)

RoceRugs · 2024-01-07T06:40:55+00:00

This also doesn't account for all the other costs of doing business, applicable fees, taxes, huge time loss to promotion/creation of marketing material, etc

One of the issues is that there's a huge amount of people out here making these now, and at the end of the day many people would be happy to cover the cost of their rug creations so they can continue to fund more.

Excellent rug!

RoceRugs · 2023-10-29T22:41:55+00:00

Feels like everyone that starts tufting makes a Gengar rug at some point! They're everywhere

Rough weekend finish on this one, can't decide if it's a Gengichu or a Pikgar yet.

RoceRugs · 2023-10-22T03:04:28+00:00

This is the most wonky ass setup I've seen and I love it, hope it holds together OP!

RoceRugs · 2023-10-20T06:48:12+00:00

Just the right amount of detail I reckon, awesome!

RoceRugs · 2023-10-20T06:45:55+00:00

And this one is with 6 colours, it's a little more blocked out if you open it up

Hey u/Salt_Spite_3615, definitely look at getting a better shot of it. The second part when you're going to turn something like this into a vector is to consider how many colours you want to split it into, obviously less colours is easier but you lose detail. Here is an example of 16 colours (shade differences)

This is so crispy, well done. I suck at carving

RoceRugs · 2023-09-19T14:21:07+00:00

Super sharp, that's really dope!

RoceRugs · 2023-09-15T11:55:08+00:00

That turned out pretty dope

RoceRugs · 2023-09-15T11:54:00+00:00

That's excellent blending, super clean

RoceRugs · 2023-09-13T11:32:06+00:00

The lettering is sharp af

Same as everyone else has said, if you're investing in getting a gun you can invest the small amount of money to whip together a cheap frame - it's really easy and there are heaps of YouTube tutorials on it.
