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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease read this before ordering. Loop 8 is not a carving yarn, and we do not recommend it for carved or sculpted work.\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcellent for plush flat pile, colour blocking, soft shapes, lettering and high-pile work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLevel the pile with a trimmer across the whole rug, then tidy the outline by hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot suitable for carved relief, sculpted contours or hard detailed outlines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e 242 Thames Shock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 600g cone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 890m\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePly:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8-ply\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight class:\u003c\/strong\u003e Super Bulky, Category 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% recycled polyester (PET)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour fastness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Grade 4 to 5 out of 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCertification:\u003c\/strong\u003e GRS (Global Recycled Standard)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGood to know\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eColours can look slightly different from screen to screen.
