Amy's rug collection is hand-tufted. A hand-tufted rug is created without tying knots into the foundation, but rather by pushing wool or acrylic yarn through a primary backing, creating a 'tuft'. Then, using a latex glue to hold the 'tufts' in place, a rugmaker will apply a secondary foundation or 'scrim', which is then covered by a third and final cloth backing to protect your floor. The final step involves shearing the tops of the looped tufts to create the pile. The height of the pile is determined by how much yarn is cut off and how far the initial loop was pushed up. |
