Hand tufted Rugs

Hand tufted Rugs

Hand tufted rug is made by punching strands of wool into a canvas which is stretched on a frame. The production process is conducted by operating the machine by hands.The rug is produced on a frame which is laced up with a cotton foundation with the imprint of the design on it. Due to the set mechanism the yarn is shot and pulled back on the surface. This specially designed machine is loaded with all the required equipments; it creates the loop and also makes a cut, as per the demand of the design.After piling with wool, the rug is removed from the frame and a scrim fabric is glued to the back. To complete the rug, a fringe is added by either sewing on, or gluing. Once the tufts are done, the floor covering is then backed with a superior quality of latex covering to ensure endurance and stability. In hand-knotted rugs the criterion is the knots per square inch whereas in hand-tufted rugs it is the weight of the rug. More the weight means more labor involved leading to enhanced durability and superior finish. Hand tufted rugs can be made with a plain, flat surface or the surface can be carved to add extra depth to the design. Alternatively, the areas of the design can be looped to create a textural feel or include Bamboo silk or Viscose detailing to add a silky shimmer to specific areas of the design in the rug.
