Shop Our Hand Made, Fair Trade Rugs
1 - 3 MONTHS TO CRAFT
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.
Hand Tufted 3 - 5 MONTHS TO CRAFT
Creates a Plush and Textured Rug
Made using a Tufting Gun, a hand tool that punches individual strands of fiber into a canvas stretched on a frame. The design of the rug is drawn on the canvas onto which appropriate coloured fibres fill in the pattern. When the rug design is fully piled with sheers by hand, the rug is removed from the frame and a cotton fabric is affix to the back of the rug to hold the fiber pile in place.
