Tufting is a skilled technique where yarn is punched through fabric by hand using a tufting gun, creating texture surfaces that blend artistry with precision. This method allows for flexibility and intricate designs - a craft that we’ve embraced fully to bring you rugs that are as unique as they are beautiful.
the process of tufting
At Rug ‘N’ Roll, hand tufting is more than just a technique - it’s a craft that demands precision, skill and passion. The tufting process begins with a backing fabric tightly stretched on a wooden frame. Using a handheld tufting gun, yarn is carefully pushed through the fabric, row by row, building up the rugs surface. This technique allows for a range of textures - from dense loops to cut pile - giving each rug its unique feel and look. The skill lies in maintaining an even tension and consistent pattern, ensuring the design comes to life exactly as envisioned.
Once the tufting is complete, the rug receives a second backing to secure the yarn in place and add durability. The edges are then finished by folding and gluing the excess fabric for a clean, strong border. Finally, the rug is trimmed and sheared where need to perfected the surface, resulting in a refined and lasting piece of art.
OUR MATERIALS
We offer two main yarn options to suit your needs: premium New Zealand wool and high-quality Acrylic yarn. New Zealand wool is naturally soft, durable and environmentally friendly, providing warmth and a luxurious feel that only natural fibres can offer. Acrylic yarn, on the other hand, brings vibrant colours, easy maintenance and excellent durability, making it a versatile choice for everyday use.
Both yarn types are carefully selected to ensure a rich texture and lasting quality. Our backing fabrics and adhesives complement these yarns perfectly, securing each tuft firmly for a rug that remains its beauty and structure over time. Whether you prefer the natural elegance of wool or the bold colour choice and practicality of acrylic, every material is chosen for its unique qualities, ensuring your rug feels special and suits your lifestyle.
