Trimmers

If your rug looks “done… but not done”, it’s finishing.

A trimmer helps you level the surface for that clean, professional look.

Carving tools help you cut crisp lines between colours and create 3D definition.
Start simple: make 2–3 rugs first, then add finishing tools when you’re ready to level up.
