About hand-tufted rugs

A hand-tufted rug is made by punching yarn through a backing cloth with a hand-held tufting tool, then finishing and backing it by hand. It is quicker to make than a hand-knotted rug, so it costs less, and it suits bold colour, ombre fades, animal prints and shaped outlines. Our 46 hand-tufted designs are made in imported high-end wool, with a wool and silk blend on a design with a sheen. Each comes in nine standard sizes from 2 x 3 ft to 12 x 15 ft, or a custom size priced to your dimensions. Made to order, with free shipping across India and worldwide.

Questions

What is a hand-tufted rug?

A rug made by punching yarn through a backing cloth stretched on a frame, using a hand-held tufting tool, then finishing it with a backing. It is quicker to make than hand-knotted, so it costs less.

What are your hand-tufted rugs made of?

Imported high-end wool, with a wool and silk blend on one design that has a sheen.

How long does a hand-tufted rug last?

Many years with sensible care: regular vacuuming, prompt blotting, a rug pad and turning it twice a year. Avoid soaking it, because water can weaken the backing.

Can a hand-tufted rug be a shaped or irregular rug?

Yes. Tufting suits shaped outlines well, and several of our hand-tufted designs have organic, irregular edges. See the Free Form rugs for these shapes.

How much does a hand-tufted rug cost?

From ₹3,120 for 2 x 3 ft, with custom sizes also available. Prices are in Indian rupees and shipping is free.
