$400.00 USDAll Things EFFY was established in 2018 in New Zealand by founder, Carolyn — a Canadian-born maker with a background in Engineering Physics, Mechatronics Engineering, and a Master’s degree in Physics. What began as a small punch needle supply shop quickly evolved as she discovered rug tufting: a craft that blends creativity with mechanical systems, precision, and problem-solving — a perfect match for her technical strengths.
In 2020, Carolyn expanded EFFY into rug tufting supplies after recognising how difficult it was for makers to access reliable tools, accurate information, and trustworthy support. Her engineering and physics experience allowed her to understand the inner workings of tufting machines, troubleshoot issues, and choose tools based on performance and mechanical stability. As tufting grew, EFFY gradually shifted toward specialising entirely in rug tufting.
From the very beginning, All Things EFFY has been shaped by Carolyn’s technical background and hands-on experience. Her approach is detail-oriented, safety-focused, and deeply rooted in understanding how tufting machines, yarns, and fabrics interact. Every product offered today reflects years of real practice, problem-solving, and maker-driven improvement.
With strong support from U.S. tufters, EFFY now operates a dedicated American store at www.allthingseffy.com. All U.S. orders are shipped domestically for fast delivery, clear pricing, and no surprise import fees.
All Things EFFY remains founder-led, with Carolyn personally overseeing product selection, testing, and refinement. Her engineering background gives her a unique ability to understand the mechanical and technical side of tufting — ensuring the brand stays focused on quality, reliability, and long-term performance.

The U.S. store was created because American tufters needed a reliable domestic option with faster shipping and transparent pricing. By stocking and shipping products from within the United States, EFFY USA offers:
We offer a curated range of rug tufting supplies hand-selected for their performance, durability, and suitability for both beginners and experienced tufters.
In the United States, we stock the AK-V tufting gun for fast delivery and easy setup. It is stable, reliable, and configured with recommended settings for cut pile tufting. Additional tufting machines are available factory direct with duties and tariffs prepaid, providing clear, upfront pricing for U.S. customers.
Our yarn options — including tufting-specific acrylics, cotton blends, and premium fibres — are chosen based on strength, density, colour performance, and clean carving results. These are fibres that work beautifully with tufting guns and help create durable, high-quality rugs.
Our range of tufting cloth and backing fabrics has been tested on real frames and tufting setups to help minimise punch-outs, tension issues, and thread breaks.
We stock rug carving tools, specialty scissors, shearing plates, adhesives, and finishing essentials — everything you need to refine and complete your tufted rugs with clean lines and professional detail.
EFFY supports makers at every level — from complete beginners to full-time rug artists. We focus on providing:
