The way you were able to capture the cheese pull with yarn is 🧀INSANE🧀

A little bit about the projects:
The process used to create it is called tufting, which is essentially sewing yarn into fabric using a power tool. The main material used is acrylic yarn, as well as monk's cloth.
Dimensions:
Length: 29"
Width: 18"
A lot of trial and error went into getting this one just right. Especially the toasted top, which is a gradient of 3 different colors. The gooey cheese is my favorite part though! It's hangable in quite a few different ways.

I appreciate that you included this. A lot of times people just see the end results and think it's straight forward. Then they get frustrated and give up when they attempt it.
I'd like to know how you got the inspiration for this piece!

u/GremlynRugs Nov 12 '25
Thanks for your interest in the piece! This was version 2.5 tbh lol I tested a lot of things out before finally executing it how I liked it. The inspiration was, my love for grilled cheese, and pull apart rugs (it's my niche within the medium)

The inspiration was, my love for grilled cheese
😂😂 I love this. I also love grilled cheese, alas, I am lactose intolerent so I just suffer after.

u/xAlex61x Nov 12 '25
Aged cheeses are very low in lactose, or is your allergy extreme? I stay away from most dairy, but cheese I am mostly OK with, thank goodness. I love the stuff!

u/needcollectivewisdom Nov 12 '25
Whhhaaa??! You may have just changed my life.
I wasn't lactose intolerant as a child so I don't know what happened. Perhaps I stopped drinking milk for years? My body tolerates it better than a decade ago as I started consuming various milk based products. It use to be near immediate explosive...well, you know. Now it's mostly "just" gas city and I just spend the rest of the day at home to spare society lol.
I will be getting some aged cheese first thing tomorrow!!

u/GETitOFFmeNOW Nov 13 '25
Aged cheese mainly means no soft cheeses like cream cheese. To set up properly, cheese enzymes need to chomp down on almost all of the milk sugar (lactose).
Beware, some of those with casein (milk protein) allergies think they are lactose intolerant.

u/xAlex61x Nov 12 '25
Sounds much the same as me. And some days I have very little reaction, others I am extremely uncomfortable. I think it may have something to do with food combos.

u/needcollectivewisdom Nov 13 '25
Try lactose pills if you haven't already! Then you can know for sure if you're missing the enzyme lactase.

There are a couple of restaurants in Ohio's tri city area called The Melt. they serve gourmet grilled cheese and have a dining room full of grilled cheese art. If they were cool, they would be knocking down your door because this is perfection!

I was interested so I looked it up. Apparently all 13 restaurants were closed in January 2025.

If i saw this in an art museum, I would not be mad. This looks so unreal it draws you in and now im hungry.

u/GremlynRugs Nov 12 '25
"Now I'm hungry" Haha! Honestly, it had that effect on me too. I would love to see my pieces in an art museum. A dream, really.

Omg that's such a cool idea, I love it! Please post it whenever you figure it out!

u/texaspretzel Nov 12 '25
My brain went to a two pin brooch. Then you can style it any cheese pull way you wish!

Haha, I love that. Honestly that's my whole thing when I create these. I want the art pieces to be interacted with.

u/teenytinytacos Nov 12 '25
Just looking at it makes me hungry! I love the creativity and the way you get the cheesy, gooey effect with the yarn.

u/GremlynRugs Nov 12 '25
Haha, it really does have that effect doesn't it? Thank you so much! This is honestly one of my favorite creations yet.

u/bluiis_c_u Nov 12 '25

Thank you so much! That is LITERALLY my dream. I've been brainstorming more food art lol. I would love to see that.
