Hand-tufted rugs are crafted using a tufting tool, or tufting gun, to punch the yarn into a fabric backing to hide the glue that is holding the rug together.  A stencil canvas is stretched behind so the design can be traced/punched into the rug.

A hand-tufted rug is made partially by hand and a machine and varies greatly from a hand-knotted rug.  Hand-tufted rugs have a flat, cut pile surface with a backing added to hold the tufts in place.  While hand-tufted rugs are not as durable as those that are hand knotted, they can still last for over 20 years with the proper care.

All of our hand-tufted rugs at Lawrence of La Brea can add character to create the perfect vibe you are looking for!
