2. Hand-Tufted Rugs: A Modern Masterpiece
Hand-tufted rugs are created using a tufting gun, which pushes yarn through a canvas to create a plush, textured surface. Here’s how it works:
-
Step 1:Â The design is traced onto a canvas.
-
Step 2:Â Yarn is tufted into the canvas using a tufting gun.
-
Step 3:Â The rug is trimmed, shaped, and finished with a backing for durability.
Why Choose Hand-Tufted? Perfect for modern designs and quicker turnaround times.
3. Hand-Knotted Rugs: A Timeless Tradition
Hand-knotted rugs are crafted by skilled artisans who tie each knot by hand. This meticulous process can take months, but the result is a rug of unparalleled beauty and durability. Here’s how it’s done:
-
Step 1:Â The design is mapped out on a loom.
-
Step 2:Â Artisans tie thousands of knots by hand, row by row.
-
Step 3:Â The rug is trimmed, washed, and finished to perfection.
Why Choose Hand-Knotted? Ideal for intricate patterns and heirloom-quality rugs.
4. The Final Touches: Trimming, Shaping, and Quality Control
Once the rug is woven or tufted, it undergoes a series of finishing touches:
-
Trimming:Â The surface is carefully trimmed to create a smooth, even pile.
-
