What is Hand-Tufted Rug ?
Hand-tufted rugs can be a fitting alternative to their hand-knotted counterparts.
Where as hand-knotted rugs are almost entirely made by hand a hand-tufted rug often has only a few steps done by hand.
This makes for a much quicker production but still allows for a hand finished product.
How your hand tufted rug is made ?
A team of skilled rug makers fuse modern and traditional processes to create your hand tufted rug.
Your chosen design is scaled and enlarged to create a ‘graph’ of your rug which is then printed onto canvas and stretched across a frame.
Loops of dyed wool, Viscose are repeatedly punched through the canvas with a ‘tufting’ gun to create the design.
A latex coating is applied to the reverse, enabling the ‘tufts’ to be held in place, then a final protective natural cotton backing is applied.
The top of the rug is sheared to create an even pile which is then hand carved to accentuate elements of the design for a superior finish .
