In this guide, you'll learn what tufting is, how handmade rugs are made, what makes them different from machine-made rugs, and how to care for them properly.
What Is Tufting?
Tufting is a rug-making technique that uses a specialized tool called a tufting gun to insert yarn into a backing fabric, creating custom designs with precision.
Once the design is complete, the rug is glued, backed with fabric, trimmed, and finished by hand.
