Hand Tufted Wool Rugs

Why A Hand-Tufted Wool Rug

A hand-tufted wool rug brings a unique, handmade feel into your home. An artisan weaver makes each rug with loving care, and you can find them in all different styles.

If you ask an interior decorator, they'll probably tell you that a hand-tufted wool rug is one of the higher-quality elements you can bring into your home. Though not as lavish as a hand-knotted rug, a tufted wool rug isn't made in a loom, and the natural material gives it resilience.

As the textile worker creates the tufted wool rug, they place strands of wool onto a frame and punch them in with a tufting tool to create intricate designs. The process can take several days and, when the design is complete, the artisan shears the wool loops to make a flat pile suitable for foot traffic.

The following ideas are just a couple of the many ways that a decorator might use a hand-tufted wool rug:

• A hand-tufted wool area rug with rich red tones in a living room, as a soft centerpiece to pull the decor together.
• A hand-tufted 6x9 wool rug in a bedroom to keep the floor warm and insulate the room during chilly winter months.

A Closer Look At Tufted Wool Rugs

The process of making a tufted wool rug requires care and creativity from the artisan, which is why decorators hold them in such high regard. However, most professionals will advise you against buying these rugs from smaller stores and instead buy from larger, trusted sellers. This is because cheap tufted rugs can fall apart quickly.

If you want a hand-tufted rug in your home, you want authentic, resilient wool and careful hand-crafted designs. These are the rugs that people love in their homes.

Once you've experienced the sumptuous softness of a hand-tufted wool rug, you won't want to go back. There's something special about the soft wool fabric and how it lays after the artisan shears the rug's surface for use.
