Hand Tufted Rust Raya Rug: What is a Hand Tufted Rug?
A hand-tufted rug is created using a tufting gun, where yarns are pushed through a fabric backing to create loops or cut piles. The process involves the following:
-
Crafting Process:
- In the hand-tufting process, an artisan uses a tufting gun to insert wool (or other fibers) into a fabric backing. The pattern is drawn out on the backing, and the yarn is inserted into the backing to create the desired design. Once the tufting is done, an adhesive is applied to the back, followed by a secondary backing to secure the rug's structure.
-
Design Flexibility:
- Hand-tufted rugs can feature complex and vibrant patterns, which is why they’re often seen with modern and bold designs like the Rust Raya Rug's geometric pattern. The technique allows for versatility in color and pattern, making it ideal for contemporary designs.
-
Texture:
- Hand-tufted rugs have a plush and thick pile due to the tufting process. This gives them a softer, more cushiony feel compared to hand-loomed rugs, which are usually flatter.
-
Cost and Time:
- Hand-tufted rugs are faster to produce than hand-knotted rugs, making them more affordable. The tufting process is quicker, allowing for intricate designs to be created without the extended time required for hand-knotted rugs.
