    this was SO helpful for a beginner like me. i have brain damage that impacts my cognitive learning, and tutorials that aren't super visual and don't explain every little detail are really hard to understand for me. this is maybe the 5th video i've watched on it and i finally understand how this process works!! thank you, tufting looks really fun and i think it'd be a great evolution for my artwork.

    I can appreciate that. I was in a climbing accident with several small splinters of granite that broke off inside my temporal lobe. I learned to write again but my speech is not as good…and the headaches… I have so much trouble learning and relearning. I feel like a five year old in a college class for the simplest things. I saw these guns on Alibaba and thought I would check it out. The idea of making customer rugs for kids rooms that they design with crayon and paper…seems like a terrific way to pass my time…now that ‘they’ don’t trust me in the medical field anymore…life changes. We learn to cope.

    9:48 The phenomenon that AJ Makes is talking about here is known as “metamerism” in the field of color theory. This is something more typically seen in neutral & near white colors. Two materials may appear to match under one type of light but not under a different light (sunlight vs. fluorescent for instance) due to the way the light refracts. In this case, the cut ends of the yarn seem to absorb some light causing it to appear dingy compared to the looped yarn which is reflecting more of the light causing it to be a lighter, cleaner color (think of the difference between a pile of glitter vs a sheet of metallic Mylar: the sheet of material will appear evenly shiney where only some of the glitter fragments will appear shiney as others will be angled in ways that don’t successfully reflect as much light & therefore look dark compared to their neighbors). It’s highly applicable in textiles as different fibers will also present this issue (for instance if you want to match white wool to white nylon: the natural wool will never be a bleached white, so to match the color, the nylon would actually have to be colored somewhat yellow and checked under different types of light. If you simply bought two materials labeled “white” the nylon will inevitably be whiter and brighter than the wool.

    I like this question! It’s probably pretty similar... but cut pile uses more because you can’t reuse the yarn once it’s cut. With the loop pile, if you make a line and want to take it out (and haven’t cut the yarn yet) you can just pull the yarn out and use it again. So from that perspective - loop pile is less wasteful!
