I'm Ty, the rug maker behind Rug Grizzly, and I’ve been designing custom tufted rugs for the last 3 years, constantly testing what’s possible with color, shape, and texture. This space is for beginners, hobbyists, and seasoned tufters who want to learn, share, and push their work further.
Inside the cult, you’ll find:
- Step‑by‑step breakdowns of real rugs, from sketch to stretch to shave
- Deep dives on yarn choices, backing fabrics, and glue so your rugs don’t fall apart
- Tool hacks and DIY builds (like mallet stretchers / “Thor’s comb” and frame tweaks)
- Design tips, color planning, and how to add notes for pile height and yarn colors to your templates
- Feedback threads where you can post WIPs and finished pieces for real critique and hype.
Maybe you just bought your first tufting gun or you’re already taking commissions, this is your corner of the internet to experiment, ask questions, and build rugs that actually feel like you.
Come for the tutorials, stay for the cult energy.
