It took me ages and I hated the process but I absolutely love it. It's very dense. The base fabric was a peice of curtain. The yarns are a mix of what ever I could find. I bought some new and found some 2nd hand or was given them. It took a looooooot of yarn.

I want to make more but I'll have to invest in a rug gun first 🙃

Thanks!

I lote it! It captures the feel of a mossy, humid mountainside so well.

I also have to say that the room it's in is incredible. It looks so cozy!

Thank you! I really want my home to feel like you've walked into a fairytale so I've got plants growing on all the walls and ceilings, natural edged/raw wood details, and artsy things like this moss rug, little mushroom lights, a cloud lamp, and some mountain shelves. All diy!

I have dreams of bracket mushroom shelves as a cat walk from one loft to another and a large flower or mushroom butni haven't found all the materials I'll need yet

I'm obsessed! It makes me want to dig my abandoned punch needle out.

It's very squishy

[-] ArtZuron@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

That's really nice! But my shuffle-walking butt would trip on it every morning I'm sure!

Ooo, cute!

Woah that's a fantastic aesthetic! How'd you get the 3d effect? Is it padded or is it just different yarn lengths?

[-] Wigglet@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

Different yarn textures and different loop lengths. My punch needle is broken so i set the length manually with each loop by pulling it with my fingers 🥲 It took me aaaaaages

[-] Rat@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Dang, I can see how that would take forever! The final result looks fantastic though!
