Approach the workstation and use the interaction that matches what you want to do.

| Pick up yarn | Collection Tray | E — Collect Yarn | Yarn ready to collect. |
| Choose a design and start tufting | Tufting Frame | E — Make a Rug | Collected yarn to assign to the design’s areas. |

Locate the Yarn and Tufting Upgrade Controls
- Yarn Dispenser: Find Upgrade beside the machine, near the Roll Yarn interaction. Use Roll Yarn to roll materials and Collect Yarn at the Collection Tray to pick them up.
- Tufting Frame: Find Upgrade above the frame. Use the separate Make a Rug interaction to choose a design and begin making a rug.
The yarn equipment has a two-slot upgrade option. Look for equipment improvements through Upgrade; the Collection Tray’s Collect Yarn prompt is the pickup action.
Recognize Studio Purchase Markers and Prices
Look for floating purchase icons inside your shop, with a cash price beneath each icon. Identify the offers by their appearance: a small green Tip Jar, a black-haired character wearing glasses, or a long wooden structure with legs. The Tip Jar’s 2.5K price means 2,500 cash.
For additional rug display space, look among the studio’s expansion purchase markers. See how to display and sell rugs for using an available rack.
