Yes you can, but you need to know if you are talking about machine tufted and woven carpet or hand tufted and woven carpet. The differences can't be explained without that knowledge.

What is difference between tufted carpet and woven carpet?
== == Woven is a generic term to describe many different types of carpet construction methods. One of the most common woven methods used in residential carpets is the Single Frame Wilton method which is used to make plain woven carpet. As the backing is being woven, pile yarns are introduced lengthways, (that direction) on the weaving machine. The wires may either be withdrawn leaving a loop pile, or, fitted with knives they may cut the pile. A patterned effect in a combination of cut and loop rows may be created and enhanced by using a stippled or multi-colored yarn combination. Tufted carpets offer versatility in terms of color, pattern and texture. To make tufted carpets, tufts are individually inserted into a woven or non-woven backing using a needling technique. The backing is coated with a latex compound to anchor the tufts. A secondary backing is almost always needed on tufted carpets to add dimensional stability and mechanical strength. Patterning attachments give a variety of textures and patterns.

What is the difference between a hand tufted rug and a hand woven rug?
This is a very tricky question. Hand-tufted rugs are hand-woven. HOWEVER, hand-tufted rugs are NOT hand-knotted, which is what people generally think of when they hear the term, "hand-woven." The term hand-woven is very often used when marketing tufted rugs because it is true - they are made by hand. It is misleading, though. Tufted rugs are made sewing yarn/wool through a fabric grid with the design preprinted on it. The rug is glued on the back and then sheered on top to create a consistent pile. The back of the tufted rugs are almost always covered with a cloth backing. Knotted rugs are woven using knots on a foudation of (usually cotton) threads that are on a loom. There is no glue in the knotting process. The process to knot rugs takes significantly longer than the process to make tufted rugs, and its quality is also better and this is reflected in the price, but not always due to branding and designer trends. Usually the result of knotting is a rug that lasts longer and keeps its value better than a tufted rug.
