Hand Knotted, Hand Tufted Bresle Rust Rug with New Zealand Wool
The Bresle Rust Rug is available in both hand knotted and hand tufted versions, crafted with the finest New Zealand wool. Below is a breakdown of how New Zealand wool enhances this rug, along with the key differences between hand tufted and hand knotted rugs.
New Zealand Wool in the Bresle Rust Rug
New Zealand wool is a premium, natural fiber known for its luxurious softness and durability. This wool is commonly used in high-quality rugs for its numerous benefits:
- Softness & Comfort: The fine, soft fibers of New Zealand wool offer an incredibly plush and comfortable feel underfoot, perfect for a cozy living space.
- Durability: New Zealand wool is naturally resilient, ensuring the rug will hold up well over time, even in high-traffic areas.
- Stain Resistance: The natural lanolin content in New Zealand wool makes it naturally resistant to stains, helping maintain the rug's appearance for a long time.
- Eco-friendly: New Zealand wool is a renewable resource, making it an environmentally friendly choice.
- Temperature Regulation: Wool naturally regulates temperature, keeping rooms warm in the winter and cool in the summer, making it perfect for year-round comfort.
Differences Between Hand Tufted and Hand Knotted Rugs
Hand Tufted Rugs:
- Crafting Process: In hand tufted rugs, artisans use a tufting gun to push yarn through a canvas backing, securing it with glue and adding a secondary backing for extra durability. This process is much quicker than hand knotting.
- Texture: Hand tufted rugs typically have a plush, thick pile that feels soft underfoot. The texture is often thicker compared to hand knotted rugs.
- Durability: While hand tufted rugs are durable, they are not as long-lasting as hand knotted rugs. The adhesive used in tufted rugs can wear over time, especially with heavy foot traffic.
- Cost: Hand tufted rugs are generally more affordable since the production process is faster and requires fewer labor hours.
- Production Time: Hand tufted rugs are quicker to produce, usually taking weeks or months depending on the design and size.
- Design Flexibility: Hand tufted rugs allow for detailed patterns but are more suitable for faster production and more intricate designs.
Hand Knotted Rugs:
- Crafting Process: Hand knotted rugs are made by tying individual knots around the warp threads. This method requires a great deal of skill and takes more time. Each knot is part of the rug’s structure, making it extremely durable.
- Texture: Hand knotted rugs generally have a denser, firmer texture due to the tightness of the knots. The pile is more compact than hand tufted rugs.
- Durability: Hand knotted rugs are known for their incredible durability. Since the yarn is tied into place, these rugs last much longer, even in high-traffic areas.
- Cost: Hand knotted rugs are usually more expensive because the process is labor-intensive and time-consuming.
- Production Time: Hand knotted rugs take a lot longer to create, often taking months or even years, depending on the complexity of the design.
- Design Complexity: Hand knotted rugs offer intricate and detailed designs, but they tend to have more limited flexibility compared to hand tufted rugs due to the nature of the knotting process.
