Hand Tufted Rugs

Yarn is placed into a stretched canvas by hand to build a soft, expressive pile with excellent design flexibility.

Plush texture, shaped by hand

Using a handheld tufting tool, artisans guide yarn through a canvas foundation before securing the reverse with a backing. This technique creates a dense, comfortable surface and makes bold shapes, sculpted details, and custom colour stories possible in less time than hand knotting.

Best suited to

Bedrooms, lounges, family rooms, and interiors that call for softness underfoot.

Hand Tufted Rugs: FAQ

What is the difference between hand-tufted and hand-knotted rugs?

A hand-tufted rug is made by pushing yarn through a canvas with a hand tool and securing it with a backing, while a hand-knotted rug has every knot tied individually. Tufted rugs are quicker to make and more affordable; knotted rugs last longer.

Can hand-tufted rugs be made in custom shapes?

Yes. Tufting is well suited to round, irregular and sculpted designs, including carved or high-low pile patterns.

How should I clean a hand-tufted wool rug?

Vacuum regularly without a beater bar, blot spills straight away, and use a professional rug cleaner for deep cleaning.
