How are Hand-tufted Rugs Made?
A textile artist can create a hand-tufted rug by wrapping wool on a frame with a tufted tool. This process takes less time than hand knotting and usually a faster and less expensive process. It's the beginning of weaving when the weaving is done using the design. Textile workers, or weaving workers, use tuft guns for injecting cotton yarn in loops. Once the whole yarn is injected in patterns, another piece called scrim will adhere with glue. The weaving machine hears the looped carpet and makes the rug softer and suitable for walking on the floor.
Hand-tufted vs. Hand-knotted Rugs
Hand-tufted and hand-knotted rug have traditionally come from handmade sources, like names suggest. Both methods make great looking rugs, but their cost is different as well as their durability. It takes many days to weave hand-woven textiles, depending on patterns. The more knots the more quality and it means more prices. The weaving of incredibly intricate and complicated designs requires many knots. Because hand-tufted rugs are manufactured quicker than handwoven carpeting, their artistic cache has the same physical quality that lasts a home for generations and is not as detailed.
