A “hand-tufted rug” is created without tying knots at all, but rather using a “tufting gun” and pushing wool or acrylic yarn through a primary backing, creating a “tuft”. Then, a latex glue is applied to hold the “tufts” in place (this is not really what I can call an environment-friendly rug). Finally the top of the tufts is trimmed to create the pile.
Don’t have any problem with people buying machine made rugs, IF they are aware of what they buy. If you buy a hand-tufted rug and expect it to be handmade, you got it really wrong!

So what is a real handmade rug?

Well, as you may know, real handmade rugs are made by people with their hand and fingers tying knots (or embroideries) one after the other. It is oriental Rug cleaning NYC which help you to keep it safe.

You are asking if 'hand tuffted rugs' are connsidered as 'handmade'..... the word hand might be relevant here.... so I would say yes!
