The tufting gun gives a designer a working tool that the pure knotted loom does not. A drawing can be developed at full scale, the colour balance can be adjusted at the last pass with the shears, and the finished piece reads as a considered work of pattern rather than a reproduction. The technique was developed industrially in the American carpet mills of the 1950s, then re-domesticated in Indian and Nepali ateliers as a craft method through the 1980s.
Built in India across around five weeks. Two tufters fed wool through the canvas with the gun, the back was bonded with latex and finished with a cotton scrim, and the surface was sculpted with long shears in a final pass. The relief is what stops the pattern from dissolving into noise at viewing distance, and it is the difference between a tufted rug that reads as a designed object and one that reads as a printed surface.
The composition
Ivory and black dominates the composition. The pattern is carved into the pile rather than printed on it, which is why the contrast deepens with use rather than fading. The wool is yarn-dyed before the gun is loaded, locking the colour into the staple, and the finishing shears were used to lift the figured area above the ground field.
The piece in a room
The 5' × 8' (152 × 244 cm) format suits a primary bedroom or a medium living area. The ivory and black palette holds against warm chalk, oat, or the deeper terracotta walls a neutral rug needs, and the rug pairs cleanly with walnut, oak, linen upholstery, leather without competing for the room. Layering a smaller wool or hide over a corner gives the room a second register without breaking the main field.
Care
Suction-only vacuuming on a weekly schedule. Blot spills with a clean cotton cloth; rubbing pushes liquid into the latex backing. Initial shedding settles after about six weeks of use. Plan a professional dry clean every two to three years.

Day-to-day care
- Vacuum gently once a week without a rotating brush bar — use the suction-only setting on hand-knotted or hand-tufted pieces.
- Rotate the rug 180° every 3-6 months so foot traffic and sunlight wear is even.
- Use a quality rug pad underneath for slip resistance and to extend life.
- Blot fresh spills immediately with a clean white cloth — do not rub. Work from the edge of the spill inward.
Deep cleaning
- Professional dry-cleaning is recommended every 12-24 months for hand-knotted carpets.
- Avoid steam cleaners and hot water on natural-fibre rugs (wool, silk, jute) — they can cause shrinkage and dye bleeding.
- For washable flat-weaves and cotton dhurries, machine-wash on a gentle cold cycle in a mesh bag.
Storage
- Roll (do not fold) the carpet around a clean cardboard tube, pile-side in.
- Wrap in breathable cotton sheeting (not plastic) and store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated space.
- Use moth-protection sachets if storing wool for more than a season.

Frequently asked
How long will shipping take?
Most metros (Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata) receive their order in 3-5 business days. Tier-2 cities take 5-7 business days, and remote pin codes (J&K, North-East, Andamans) take 7-10 business days. Use the pin-code checker above for a concrete delivery date.
Will the colour exactly match the photo?
Each carpet is hand-crafted with natural-dye yarns, so a small variation in shade, pattern density, and tone is expected and is part of the authenticity of a handmade piece. Colours on screen also vary by monitor and lighting. If you are matching a specific decor, request a yarn sample before ordering.
Can I get a sample before buying?
Yes — we send 2-3 small yarn / pile samples for ₹500 (refundable against your purchase). Message us on WhatsApp with the SKU and your shipping pin code to arrange a sample.
What is your returns process?
Returns are accepted within 7 days of delivery in original condition (rolled, not folded; no pet hair, smoke, or stains). Email care@rugsville.in or message us on WhatsApp with your order number — we arrange free reverse pickup in most pin codes. Refunds are processed within 3-5 working days of receipt at our warehouse.
Do you take custom orders?
Yes. Custom-size, custom-colour, and custom-design hand-knotted carpets typically take 4-8 weeks depending on size and complexity. Minimum custom-order size is 4'×6'. Send us your brief on WhatsApp with the room photo and dimensions for a quote.
