About our Rugs
Many of our Rugs are hand crafted using a process known as "hand tufting".
In this method, designs are drawn onto a backing material and the tufts of yarn are pushed through with a simple hand tool. When the pile has been "tufted" the backing material is covered with a latex solution and then a backing of 100% cotton is put on.
The rug is then washed, trimmed and the edging added. The finished product is a high-density, plush piled floor rug. Part of the unique charm of a hand made product is that each rug will vary slightly
100% Japanese acrylic fibre is used to make our rugs as it is a superior quality yarn. It is favoured because of its soft, plush and springy feel, ease of cleaning and resistance to soiling, static, moths and mildew.
Acrylic yarn is the closest material to wool, in appearance and touch, of any synthetic. Due to special processing, the shininess often associated with synthetics is avoided.
Although it looks and feels like wool it is less likely to fade in bright sunlight and requires less specialist care. As it is a "spun" yarn it will still shed some fibres for a short time but not to the same extent as wool.
