Hand-Tufted Wool & Silk Blend
When exploring hand-tufted wool & silk blend, it is essential to understand both the construction and the application. Hand-tufting is the perfect balance of craftsmanship, design flexibility and accessible pricing. A skilled artisan uses a hand-held tufting gun to punch yarn through a pre-stretched canvas, following a paper pattern. The piece is then trimmed, carved, latex-backed and finished with a cotton lining — producing a plush, sculpted rug in a fraction of the time of a hand-knotted piece.
Coupled with this, our wool-and-silk blend rugs offer the best of both fibres — the durability and resilience of pure wool combined with the lustrous highlights of silk. Master weavers use wool for the structural pile and accent silk in motifs, medallions or borders, creating a layered visual effect that shifts as you walk around the room.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are hand-tufted rugs as durable as hand-knotted?
Not quite — hand-tufted rugs typically last 10-25 years with normal use, versus 50+ for hand-knotted. The difference is the latex backing, which can dry out over decades. For an heirloom piece, choose hand-knotted; for everyday luxury at a better price, hand-tufted is excellent.
Why do hand-tufted rugs have a smell when new?
A faint smell from the latex adhesive is normal for the first few weeks. Air the rug in a well-ventilated space (or outdoors on a dry day) and the smell will disappear. We use low-VOC latex for all our pieces.
How much silk is in a wool-silk blend rug?
Most of our blends are 80% wool / 20% silk, with the silk used for highlights and motifs. We can produce custom blends from 90/10 to 50/50 depending on your aesthetic and budget.
Are wool-silk blends easier to care for than pure silk?
Yes — the wool backbone makes them more forgiving of foot traffic, vacuuming and the occasional spill. We still recommend professional cleaning every 2-3 years.
