Axminster is a classic 80% wool and 20% nylon carpet yarn of exceptional quality in a wide range of colours. The wool content gives rugs and carpets good warmth whilst the nylon provides strength so that pieces will last for years. It is also mothproofed extending the lifespan of completed pieces even further. Not all the colours are the same thickness as each other and this is mentioned in the colour detail.The turnover of this yarn is very high and we buy as much as we can of every shade, so stocks should last a good length of time - however, some shades will always be very popular and sell out quickly. Please ensure you order enough to complete your project as our suppliers may not have an exact match the next time we visit.
Axminster is a very versatile yarn for all types of crafts:
- It’s ideal for making colourful classic velvet pile carpets and rugs or shaggy rya rugs using either a tufting gun or a few ends together using a latch hook and canvas.
- Brilliant to weave into rugs, wall-hangings, carpets and runners, floor cushions and bags.
- Use on all types of looms and makes a particularly great tapestry weaving yarn.
- Axminster is also ideal to stitch into small hole canvas for needlepoint work such as church kneelers etc.
- For a twist why not crochet or knit into strong vessels, bags, containers and baskets?
- Make rustic and colourful braids and tassels
- The light shades including Ivory and Ecru will dye with hot water dyes
- Strong enough for macrame and knotting crafts
