Hand-tufted rugs are crafted using a process where skilled artisans use a handheld tufting gun to punch yarn through a fabric stretched on a frame. This technique allows for intricate patterns and designs, resulting in textured and plush carpets. While less time-consuming than hand-knotting, hand-tufting still showcases artisanal skill and provides a balance between quality and efficiency. The finished products exhibit a combination of artistry and comfort, making them popular choices for both style and practicality in home decor.
