The production of a hand-tufted rug begins with a canvas backing stretched onto a frame. Skilled artisans then use a tufting gun to push strands of yarn through the backing, creating loops or pile. This process allows for intricate designs and patterns to be easily achieved, as the tufters can control the placement and density of the yarn.
Once the tufting is complete, a layer of latex adhesive is applied to the back of the rug to secure the yarn in place. A secondary backing material is often added for additional stability. After the adhesive has dried, the rug is sheared to create an even pile height and a smooth, uniform surface.
Hand-tufted rugs come in a wide range of materials, including wool, silk, cotton, and synthetic fibers, each offering its own unique look and feel. They can feature a variety of designs, from traditional motifs to modern abstract patterns, and are available in numerous shapes, sizes, and color combinations to suit any décor style.
