Hand - Tufted
Best for family room, bedroom and living room:- The hand-tufted rug weaving technique is a bit less awkward than the hand-knotted weaving technique. A hand-tufted rug is partly created by hand and moderately by a mechanized tufting tool. Tufted floor coverings are usually made of wool. The method of designing a hand-tufted rug is entirely different from a hand-knotted area rug. A hand-tufted area rug is formed by punching wool fibers into a canvas that is extended on a casing with the assistance of a tufting tool which is operated by hand. The tufting gun has a needle on its front to speed up the rug making process. The tufting procedure is less time consuming and doesn't require expertise skills like hand-knotting rugs. After drilling the wool, the rug is detached from the frame. A hand-tufted floor covering needs backing to have a grip on the tufts in place. To complete the rug, a fringe is added by either patching or sticking it on.
