A hand
tufted carpet is manufactured utilizing
a tufting gun with needles mounted in
the front. The production process is
conducted by operating the machine by
hands. The tufted gun employed to create
artistic floor pieces looks like a
modern drilling machine that shoots soft
and lustrous yarns into base. The carpet
is produced on a frame which is laced up
with a cotton foundation with the
imprint of the design on it. Due to the
set mechanism the yarn is shot and
pulled back on the surface.
This
specially designed machine is loaded
with all the required equipments; it
creates the loop and also makes a cut,
as per the demand of the design. The
hand tufting gun facilitates a faster
production with no limitations in usage
of fiber. The price of these carpets
varies according to the usage of fiber,
size and design of the carpet.
Once the
tufts are done, the floor covering is
then backed with latex covering to
ensure endurance. A hand tufted carpet
is easy on pocket and is available in a
variety of designs and colors. The art
piece created using this technique is
mainly used on the floor and is also
appreciated for its usage as tapestry.
Besides hand-tufting, machine tufting is
also popularizing these days. Machine
tufting is done to make carpets in much
intricate designs to keep the measure
accurate.
