What is the difference between a woven product and a tufted product?
A woven product is a rug constructed of a warp and weft with yarns knotted into the weft. The warp is a spacer and the weft locks the yarn in place. A hand tufted product is a rug made of a primary backing that yarns are punched into, and a secondary backing that is laminated to the primary back to lock the yarns in place. It is important that we know what product we are working with. Hand tufted products have some limitations.
