HANDTUFTED RUGS & CARPETS
Sarelli creates premium rugs and carpets using the handtufting technique. Each piece is carefully made by skilled craftspeople who combine traditional methods with modern designs. We use high-quality wool to create beautiful, long-lasting rugs for your home.
Handtufting uses a special gun that pushes fibers through a cotton backing marked with the rug’s design. The word ‘tuft’ describes how bundles of wool are punched into the base material, following pre-drawn patterns. To make the rug stable, we add a layer of glue or fabric to the back.
This technique is ideal for commercial projects and public spaces because it’s:
- Faster to produce than traditional methods
- More cost-effective
- Flexible with designs, including textured patterns
- Allows for custom relief effects through hand-finishing
Unlike hand-knotted rugs where each knot is tied by hand, handtufted rugs offer quicker production times. Hand-knotted rugs are more expensive and can take several months to two years to complete, depending on the design’s complexity.
