Handtufted carpets are made by hand using high quality raw materials, but rather than having knots that need to be tied, a special ”tufting gun” is used to push loops of yarn through a scrim (pre-woven backing). The last stage in the production is trimming the pile to the desired length, thereby exposing the thread ends for a softer pile.
This technique allows for a quick and effective process and gives the weaver more freedom and range to create detailed patterns and shapes otherwise restricted in handknotted carpets. The end result is a long lasting high quality carpet at an affordable price.
This rug sheds, which is normal and a result of the manufacturing process, as small surplus fibres are released during production. With proper care, this shedding will naturally decrease. To minimize excess shedding, it's recommended to regularly hoover with a recessed brush head and to hoover in the direction of the pile.
The colors in the rug will be perceived differently depending on the angle you view it from.
