Park Bin (081) is a light, soft fresh green shade of Loop 8, our 100% recycled super bulky tufting yarn. Made in 8 plies from GRS-certified recycled PET, it is designed for rug tufting, punch needle, weaving, crochet and textile art.

Why tufters choose Loop 8

• 8-ply super bulky construction gives excellent volume per stitch, so rugs fill in quickly
• Feeds smoothly through tufting guns including the AK-V, with minimal jamming
• Consistent thickness for even pile height across a whole project
• Soft, plush and bouncy underfoot, and easy to care for
• 100% recycled PET, GRS certified, formaldehyde free

Plush by design, and not a carving yarn

Loop 8 is deliberately soft and open. That is what makes it such a forgiving yarn to tuft: it feeds smoothly, fills fast, packs in densely and stays soft and bouncy underfoot, wash after wash.

Please read this before ordering. Loop 8 is not a carving yarn, and we do not recommend it for carved or sculpted work. The open 8-ply structure that makes it so good to tuft also means it does not cut cleanly under a blade. It will not hold a crisp sculpted edge or a sharp relief line, and no amount of technique will change that. If carving is the point of your project, use a hard, tightly twisted carving yarn instead. We would rather tell you now than have you find out with the rug already on the frame.

• Excellent for plush flat pile, colour blocking, soft shapes, lettering and high-pile work
• Level the pile with a trimmer across the whole rug, then tidy the outline by hand
• Not suitable for carved relief, sculpted contours or hard detailed outlines
