Handmade here in my studio! This loop pile rug has been hand-tufted by me.
My process: I stretch tufting cloth snugly on a rug frame (built by my kiddo!). I will either hand-draw or trace an image I’ve created onto the cloth. Using an electric tufting machine, I begin tufting the actual rug design, often changing colors as I go. Watching a rug being formed before my eyes is a quite a satisfying process.
There are two common types of rugs that I make. First, there is a loop pile yarn rug, where the yarn is looped continuously through the fabric. This gives the rug a bumpy or nubby, robust texture to it. Think about berber carpet as an example of loop rugs.
The other is a cut pile rug. When tufting, the yarn loops are cut at the top, creating individual tufts instead of bumps. Think of plush carpet as an example. This type of rug also allows me the option to add extra depth and character by hand-sculpting with shears and/or scissors.
-This rug is a loop pile rug-
Measuring 19” x 27”, this rug is made of 100% wool yarn with a non-slip backing. The back is outlined in a cotton twill to help create clean lines.
It is common for rugs to ‘shed’ a little for the first several weeks as there may still be some loose fibers from the creation of the rug. Being a handmade rug, expect some extra character ;)
Spot clean only. Do not wash in washing machine or place in dryer.
