Hand Loom, Hand Tufted Grand – Deep Wine Rug with New Zealand Wool

The Hand Loom, Hand Tufted Grand – Deep Wine Rug is a luxurious piece, skillfully crafted to add depth and warmth to your space. The combination of handloom and hand tufted techniques results in a rug that exudes both elegance and comfort. The rich deep wine color creates a dramatic focal point in any room, while the premium New Zealand wool enhances its overall texture and durability.

• New Zealand Wool: This wool is known worldwide for its superior quality, softness, and resilience. It’s durable, easy to maintain, and naturally resistant to stains and dirt. The luxurious feel of New Zealand wool ensures that the rug feels incredibly soft underfoot while being durable enough to withstand daily use. This wool also helps to maintain a comfortable room temperature, providing insulation and breathability.

Crafting Techniques

1. Hand Loom:

   • Hand loom weaving involves the process of weaving yarn through a loom by hand, using both vertical (warp) and horizontal (weft) threads. This method allows for intricate and tightly woven patterns, resulting in a sleek, smooth surface.
   • Handloom rugs are known for their consistent texture, flat weave, and often more subtle, sophisticated designs. The weaving process results in a rug with excellent durability and evenness across the surface.

2. Hand Tufted:

   • In hand tufting, a tufting gun is used to push yarn into a fabric backing, creating a high-pile, plush surface. The tufting method allows artisans to work more quickly, creating vibrant patterns with varied textures.
   • The pile in a tufted rug is typically denser and more luxurious, giving it a softer, cushioned feel. Tufted rugs often feature rich, bold designs and a thicker, more inviting surface compared to handloom rugs.

Key Differences Between Hand Loom and Hand Tufted Rugs

1. Production Process:

   • Hand Loom Rugs: Weaving by hand on a loom takes more time and skill, making it a slower process compared to tufting. The result is a highly durable, consistent, and fine-textured rug.
   • Hand Tufted Rugs: The tufting process is faster, as a tufting gun is used to push the yarn into a backing. This allows for quicker production of more intricate and plush rugs.

2. Texture & Feel:

   • Hand Loom Rugs: These rugs typically have a flatter texture with less pile, providing a smooth, even feel. Handloom rugs are known for their sleek, refined appearance and work well in spaces that require a more subtle touch.
   • Hand Tufted Rugs: These rugs have a higher pile, which gives them a plush and thick texture, making them feel soft and luxurious underfoot. The tufting technique creates a denser rug with a more textured surface.

3. Durability:

   • Hand Loom Rugs: Due to the tight, even weave and craftsmanship involved in handloom weaving, these rugs tend to be highly durable and resistant to wear. When made with New Zealand wool, they are even more robust and long-lasting.
   • Hand Tufted Rugs: While still durable, tufted rugs may not have the same level of longevity as handloom rugs. The backing material in tufted rugs may degrade over time, especially if the rug is not properly cared for.

4. Design Flexibility:

   • Hand Loom Rugs: The weaving process allows for complex, geometric, or subtle patterns, making them ideal for those seeking a more refined, elegant look. The design of handloom rugs tends to be more consistent and intricate due to the careful weaving process.
   • Hand Tufted Rugs: Tufting allows for bolder, more intricate patterns and can accommodate a wide variety of textures. The design possibilities are almost endless, and tufted rugs are often chosen for their ability to showcase vibrant and elaborate designs.
