Hand Loom , Hand tufted Park – Oatmeal Rug

The Hand Loom, Hand Tufted Park – Oatmeal Rug is a stylish and sophisticated piece, created using New Zealand wool, which is renowned for its superior quality, softness, and durability. This wool enhances the overall texture of the rug, providing a luxurious feel and ensuring its longevity.

As for the distinction between Hand Tufted Rugs and Hand Loom Rugs, here’s an overview:

Hand Tufted Rug:

• Production Process: A hand tufted rug is made by pushing wool (or other materials) through a canvas backing using a tufting gun. The fibers are injected into the fabric, and then the rug is secured with latex backing to hold the fibers in place. This process allows for more intricate designs to be created quickly.
• Texture and Feel: These rugs typically have a thicker pile and a soft, plush feel, making them more comfortable underfoot.
• Durability: Hand tufted rugs are durable but tend to have a shorter lifespan than handloom rugs. They may shed fibers, especially when they are new, and may require more maintenance.
• Cost: The manufacturing process is quicker and less labor-intensive than handloom, so hand tufted rugs are generally more affordable.

Hand Loom Rug:

• Production Process: Handloom rugs are woven on a loom, where yarn is interwoven to create the design. The yarns are tightly woven into a warp, creating a durable and cohesive rug. This method takes more time and skill, as each individual knot or weave is created by hand.
• Texture and Feel: Handloom rugs have a denser and flatter pile compared to hand tufted rugs. They are generally more firm to the touch but offer great durability.
• Durability: Handloom rugs are built to last for decades, if not longer. The weaving process is more stable, and they are less prone to shedding. They can handle high traffic areas and age gracefully over time.
• Cost: Due to the labor-intensive and time-consuming process, handloom rugs are often more expensive.

Key Differences:

• Production: Hand tufted rugs are made with a tufting gun, whereas handloom rugs are woven by hand on a loom.
• Texture: Hand tufted rugs tend to be softer and thicker, while handloom rugs are denser and firmer.
• Durability: Handloom rugs last longer and are less likely to shed compared to hand tufted rugs.
• Cost: Handloom rugs are more expensive because of the more intricate and time-consuming weaving process.

Both Hand Tufted and Hand Loom rugs offer unique benefits, and with New Zealand wool as the material, both options promise a high-end, luxurious feel that will elevate any living space.
