Creates a relatively lower pile, casual look.
Made by tufting loops of yarn through a stiff woven base, stretched over a frame. The design is printed on the base fabric, and the loops of yarn are pushed through the fabric.
Larger looped rugs create a heavily textured rug while smaller loops allow for greater detail in pattern.

Creates a Plush and Textured Rug.
Crafted using a Tufting Gun, this technique punches individual fibres into a stretched canvas, following a pre-drawn design. Once fully piled and hand-sheered, the rug is removed from the frame, and a cotton backing is applied to secure the fibres in place.

Most prestigious rug construction for its durability, minimal shedding and highest artistic quality. Only hand knotting by the most skilled can labouriously accomplish the most intricate design details and complex colour variations.
An expert weaver sits behind a loom and hand ties individual knots onto the vertical strings seen on the backside of a rug.
