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.

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.
