Labesosa: the workshop physics of tufted rugs

Field notes

The material is organized as a practical sequence rather than a general craft introduction: frame tension, reverse-side drawing transfer, pile type, stitch density, yarn, backing, and final shearing each receive a dedicated section. One useful constraint is that lettering and other asymmetrical designs must be mirrored before tufting, since the gun works from the hidden side. The notes also connect workshop conditions to maintenance, warning that humidity and yarn weight can make the primary cloth slacken during work.
