ClawLab H1 Tufting Gun | Worth It?

Can you use your existing knitting yarn stash to make a rug? Today, I’m putting down the knitting needles and picking up a power tool! I’m testing out the Clawlab H1 Tufting Gun to see if I can make more with my yarn stash. In this video, I’m attempting to recreate a mini-rug version of the "Wallace" design by Sahm Jalbert (from Kussen & Kiss) using my own hand-dyed SweetGeorgia yarn. I’ll walk you through the 12-minute aluminum frame setup, how to use the tufting gun, and my honest experiments with using different weights of knitting yarn. We’ll also compare this "power tufting" experience to the manual punch needle technique we love. Is it faster? Is it easier? And most importantly—does it actually work with fine knitting yarn?
