tufted rug

Looped pile carpet

A tufted rug is made by punching yarn through a backing fabric, creating loops that may be left intact or cut to form a soft pile.

This manufacturing method is faster and cheaper than weaving or hand-knotting, making tufted rugs the most common type sold today.

The tufted rug shed fibers for the first few weeks.
