At Tuftingshop, we call this model\u003cbr\u003e    \u003cstrong\u003eAK DUO\u003c\/strong\u003e because its main strength is the dual cut-and-loop function. This keeps the product positioning clear: it is versatile and practical, but it is not our most advanced professional machine.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e    The AK DUO comes with a separate loop needle, allowing you to switch between a soft, open cut-pile finish and a classic loop-pile texture. Adjustable speed control helps you work at a pace that suits your project and experience level.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003ch2 class=\"section-title\"\u003eCut and Loop Tufting\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e    With cut pile tufting, the machine cuts the yarn as it is pushed through the tufting cloth, creating a soft and textured surface. With loop pile tufting, the yarn stays uncut, creating a lower, more compact looped texture. The AK DUO lets you use both techniques, so you can add contrast and structure to your tufted rugs without switching to a different machine.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"The tufting shop","offers":[{"title":"Pink","offer_id":58160579182917,"sku":"a0021","price":159.36,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Mint - gold","offer_id":58160579215685,"sku":"a0020","price":159.36,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Yellow","offer_id":58160579248453,"sku":"a0022","price":159.36,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black","offer_id":58160579281221,"sku":"640b1badd03da","price":159.36,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0723\/3925\/9674\/files\/AKDUOpink.webp?v=1780481294","url":"https:\/\/novattuftingshop.com\/products\/ak-duo-standard-2-in-1-cut-loop-pile-tufting-machine","provider":"TuftingshopVATEXEMPTION","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
