If you haven't played Tufting, you can't keep up with the "decompression" of young people.
On social media, you can see this line from time to time, "You won't be the last to know about Tufting?"
So what exactly is Tufting?
Tufting, translated as "tufting", was originally a traditional craft used to make carpets and other products. After some foreign artists shared their creations on social platforms, they first became popular abroad and then became popular in China.
According to data released by Xiaohongshu, at the beginning of 2021, more than 20,000 notes were related to the emerging activity "Tufting". In October 2021, the number of Tufting-related notes posted explosively increased, and the fourth quarter increased by about 5 times compared to the previous quarter. .
Nowadays, Tufting’s works can often be seen on social media such as Xiaohongshu, and many players often mention “decompression” and “interesting” when sharing their experiences.
Zhang Mengyue from Zhejiang is a Tufting player. She calls it the "decompression password". "Every time you squeeze out an entire afternoon to knit wool, it really decompresses plus."
Zhang Mengyue told reporters that because of the busy and cumbersome work, when he wants to free his mind, he will do some one-way things, such as coloring and cross-stitching.
"Tufting is more decompressing than coloring. The gun for knitting yarn is there, and you will feel that your troubles have been eliminated. Then you can only think about one thing in your mind, and make this section of yarn neatly." Zhang Mengyue said.
"In a quiet space, do something that only you can do, without thinking, without others telling you whether you are right or wrong", is Zhang Mengyue's experience in the Tufting store.
