Neulomispistoolit

Neulomispistoolit, often referred to as knitting guns or tufting guns, are specialized tools used to create fabric by rapidly inserting yarn through a backing material. Unlike traditional knitting which uses needles to create loops, neulomispistoolit push yarn through a base fabric, forming either loops or cut piles depending on the gun's mechanism. This process is significantly faster than manual knitting or crocheting, making it suitable for industrial production of carpets, rugs, and upholstery, as well as for hobbyists and artists looking to create textured art pieces or custom textiles.

There are two primary types of neulomispistoolit: the cut pile gun and the loop pile gun. The cut pile gun severs the yarn after it's pushed through the backing, resulting in a plush, cut-end surface. The loop pile gun leaves the yarn looped on the other side, creating a textured loop surface. Both types work by feeding yarn from a spool, through a mechanism that pierces the backing material, and then either cutting or leaving the yarn as a loop. The speed and efficiency of these tools have revolutionized textile manufacturing and opened new avenues for creative expression in fiber arts. They require a sturdy backing fabric, such as primary rug canvas, and a consistent yarn supply to operate effectively. Safety precautions are important, as the needles are sharp and move at high speeds.
