Here's an in-depth breakdown of the rug and how New Zealand Wool enhances its quality, as well as the differences between hand tufted and hand knotted rugs.
New Zealand Wool in the Perga Rug:
New Zealand Wool is known for its premium quality, making it the ideal material for high-end rugs like the Perga Rug.
- Softness: New Zealand Wool is incredibly soft and adds a comfortable, plush feel underfoot.
- Durability: It is known for its resilience and ability to withstand high foot traffic, making it perfect for long-lasting rugs like the Perga Rug.
- Stain Resistance: Naturally, wool is resistant to stains, dirt, and debris, keeping your rug looking pristine for longer.
- Eco-Friendly: Being a renewable resource, New Zealand Wool is sustainable and biodegradable, making it an environmentally conscious choice.
- Temperature Regulation: Wool naturally regulates temperature, keeping the room warm in winter and cool in summer.
Difference Between Hand Tufted and Hand Knotted Rugs:
Hand Tufted Rugs:
-
Crafting Process:
- Hand tufted rugs are created by using a tufting gun that pushes yarn through a fabric backing, and the yarn is glued in place. The rug is then finished with a second backing for stability.
- This is a faster process than hand knotted rugs, which makes hand tufted rugs less expensive.
-
Texture:
- Hand tufted rugs tend to have a thick, soft pile, giving them a cushioned feel underfoot. The construction is generally plush with more flexible textures.
-
Durability:
- Though hand tufted rugs are durable, they may not last as long as hand knotted rugs. Over time, the glue holding the yarn may wear down, leading to potential shedding.
-
Cost:
- Hand tufted rugs are typically more affordable due to the quicker production time.
-
Design Flexibility:
- Since hand tufted rugs are quicker to produce, they can feature complex designs, vibrant colors, and intricate patterns.
Hand Knotted Rugs:
-
Crafting Process:
- Hand knotted rugs are made by tying each knot by hand around the warp and weft threads of the rug, a process that takes much longer (several months).
- Each knot is tied individually, which results in a highly durable and dense weave.
-
Texture:
- Hand knotted rugs typically have a shorter pile and a denser texture compared to hand tufted rugs. This makes them feel firmer underfoot, and the texture is often more structured.
-
Durability:
- Hand knotted rugs are highly durable and can last for generations. The absence of glue and the intricate knotting technique ensures that these rugs do not shed and maintain their shape for many years.
-
Cost:
- Due to the time-intensive process, hand knotted rugs are generally more expensive than hand tufted rugs.
-
Design Complexity:
- Hand knotted rugs offer the opportunity for even more intricate and complex designs. Each knot contributes to the design, resulting in finely detailed patterns that are highly detailed.

Conclusion:
The Hand Tufted and Hand Knotted Perga Rug, crafted with New Zealand Wool, brings luxury, durability, and comfort to your home. While New Zealand Wool enhances the rug's softness and resilience, the choice between hand tufted and hand knotted depends on your preference for texture, design, durability, and budget.
- Hand Tufted rugs like the Perga Rug offer plush, thick texture and vibrant patterns at a more affordable price, but they may not last as long as hand knotted rugs.
- Hand Knotted rugs are known for their intricate design, exceptional durability, and ability to stand the test of time, but they come at a higher cost due to the time-intensive creation process.
Both types of rugs are crafted using New Zealand Wool, making them luxurious, sustainable, and long-lasting additions to any space.
