Hand-tufted rugs are a type of floor covering made by punching strands of wool or other materials through a stretched canvas or fabric base using a hand-operated tool called a tufting gun. Unlike hand-knotted rugs, they do not require weaving or tying individual knots. Instead, the tufts of yarn are pushed through the backing and secured with adhesive before a secondary backing is applied. These rugs can feature a wide range of designs, colors, and textures, making them versatile for home décor. Hand-tufted rugs are typically more affordable and quicker to produce than hand-knotted rugs.
