Tufted rugs are created without knots. Hand tufted rugs (also called hand made/cut pile rugs) are produced by punching individual yarns through a fabric sheet using a hand-held tool device called a tufting gun. Hand tufted rugs are not made on a loom. Firstly our pure cotton carpet canvas is measured and then the design is either screen printed or digitally printed on to this like a piece of artwork. The benefit of the modern printed version is both accuracy and complexity. Once the rug has been completed a second fabric is glued to the back to hold the yarns in place. Hand tufted rugs are still highly durable and can last for 15-20 years without a problem.
