A tufting needle (100) comprises a shaft (101) having a tapered formation (103) configured to penetrate and open a passage (105) in a resilient backing material (107). The needle (100) further comprises a filament lumen (109) that leads to an opening (117) proximal to the tapered formation (103), to guide a filament (111) through the passage (105) to create a tuft (113) at the resilient backing material (107). A cutting edge (115) is located at the opening (117) of the filament lumen (109) to cut the filament (111).

A needle assembly for use in carpeting includes a handle having a first longitudinal axis running from a forward end to a rear end, a shaft section running along the first longitudinal axis with a first portion having a first outer diameter and a second portion, where the second portion has a second outer diameter representing a maximal outer diameter of the second portion, and the second outer diameter is less than the first outer diameter, a first bore a first maximal diameter and a front-end opening. The needle assembly includes a needle having a shank with a second maximal diameter permitting insertion of the shank in the first bore. The needle includes a blade disposed between the shank and the front end, and a tip section disposed between the blade and the front end, having a transverse opening, and terminating with a pointed tip.

A rug hooking device is disclosed, wherein the device assists with handling and completing rug hooking projects. The rug hooking device comprises a base component that is configured in a wooden square with a square hole in the center and provides enough room to staple on backing. The base component includes two wooden claws with a board screwed in between the wooden claws. The wooden claws are then inserted onto a table edge and secured via a C-style clamp to tighten it to the table surface. The base component includes two slots which allow for accessory plates to be slid in to accommodate extra project sizes.
