+What is the process of creating a hand-tufted wool rug?
A hand-tufted wool rug is created by punching strands of wool into a canvas that is stretched on a frame using a hand-operated tool called a tufting gun. The loops of wool are then sheared to create a smooth cut-pile surface. This process is less time-intensive and requires less skill than hand-knotting.
-
+How do I maintain and clean my hand-tufted wool rug?
Regular vacuuming with a flat head attachment (not the brush side) is recommended for maintaining your hand-tufted rug. For liquid spills, dab with a paper towel without rubbing. For stronger stains, use a gentle cleaning product like DRY WONDER. It's also a good idea to have your rug professionally cleaned once a year.
-
+What are the advantages of owning a hand-tufted wool rug?
Hand-tufted wool rugs offer several benefits, including durability, a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and colors, and the ability to customize the rug's thickness. They are also more affordable than hand-knotted rugs while still providing a high-quality appearance and feel.

+How can I determine if a rug is hand-tufted or hand-knotted?
To differentiate between a hand-tufted and hand-knotted rug, examine the back of the rug. Hand-tufted rugs will have a canvas backing glued to the back, while hand-knotted rugs will display individual knots and a tapestry-style pattern on the reverse side. The knots in hand-knotted rugs may vary in size and uniformity, whereas hand-tufted rugs will have a more consistent appearance.
