Tufting is a very popular craft technique that has revolutionized the world of textile and rug design. This technique, which involves creating loops of thread on a fabric base, allows artists and craftsmen to produce custom rugs and tapestries with a stunning variety of textures and designs.

The most important thing about tufting is the tufting gun , a special gun that inserts threads into a base, typically fabric, creating loops that can then be cut or left intact depending on the desired effect. This tool has democratized rug creation, making production faster and more accessible, without sacrificing artistic quality.
