HAND-TUFTED RUGS
Handtufted rugs are in high demand in many cases due to its cost
effectiveness, faster production and its look similar to other types of
handmade rugs and carpets.
Hand-tufted
with tight weave/normal weave :
When we get hand-tufted rugs manufactured, the first issue comes as to
which kind of weaving pattern has to be adopted, whether it has to be dense rug
with tight weave or thick rug with loose weave. The weaving pattern has
directly relation with the the type of wool or say the pile material to be used
in a rug. Here is the time we inform that there are 2 main kind of wools being
used in making hand-tufted rugs…
- blended wool
(mix of
- 100%
newzealand wool
Both the above may be used independently or with the use of viscose
yarn.
Pile height of hand-tufted rugs :
Handtufted rugs in many cases are made in thick pile…moderate pile for
high end client is 10-12mm, but this can be made upto 20mm in many cases. It
may be noted that the consumption of wool in a rug have direct linkage with the
pile height. Direct rule is that more the pile height, less the density of rug
will be. Pile may be 4mm or 20mm or any between these are mostly manufactured
in wool that too in hand tufted pattern.
Backing of
hand-tufted rugs :
After the rugs are manufactured there is latex being used to fix the
pile, in case of hotel rugs SBR latex which has fire retardant properties are
being used, with which net is pasted as primary backing, if secondary backing
is needed we use cotton canvas as per the requirement.
