A hand-tufted rug is made with a special artisanal technique whereby an operator manually uses a tufting hook or gun to follow a design previously traced on a base canvas. Thanks to the use of a special tool, designed specifically for creating rugs, the production process is much faster than the one involved in making hand-knotted rugs.

This type of rug has a fabric backing that covers a layer of glue used to hold the pile threads in place after they have been "shot" into the canvas. Consequently, you cannot see the pattern on the back of the rug.

The hand loom technique is used to hand make modern rugs by warp and weft weaving. As the word "loom" suggests, this procedure is carried out with the help of a loom which facilitates the process.

The rugs are produced using a vertical loom, while the threads are woven by hand. Many models are short-pile, which makes them soft and comfortable underfoot. The fibres which can be used in this process include: wool, viscose, acrylic, banana silk, silk, PET. There is also the option of selecting more than one type of fibre for making a rug.
