Hand tufted area rugs are a popular type of carpet that combine high quality hand craftsmanship with an affordable cost. A hand tufted carpet or hand tufted rug is created without tying the knots seen in an hand woven rug. Instead, a "gun" is used to force the tufts through canvas. A scrim backing is then glued in place. This process is cheaper than hand weaving, but still produces a quality rug if fine materials are used.
