5 GOOD REASONS THAT MAKE WOOLLEN CARPETS THE MOST POPULAR CHOICES

Wool is the sturdiest, heavy duty, hard-wearing yarn that affords both safety and comfort. Moreover, wool is a natural, renewable fibre source resource that is an excellent biodegradable alternative to other manmade synthetic fibres! Wool is an exceptionally natural fibre with numerous benefits. So, let’s discuss why wool?

Built-in temperature control: Wool is a natural insulator which buffers the excessive cold or hot air on the outside, keeping the environment in a comfort zone.

Naturally spongy fibre: Wool fibre can actually absorb up to 30% of their weight and that too without feeling weighty or damp. On the contrary, Cotton fabrics begin to feel soggy after 15%. The porous fibres “exhale” by wicking away dampness and releasing it into the air.

Natural resistance to mildew and mold: Wool is naturally resistant to mildew and mold as it wards off humidity, and therefore lets the moisture pass through it’s fibres without holding the moisture. Mildew and mold need moisture to survive and breed.

Ideal insulator: Wool is warm in winter and relatively cool in the summer as its hydrophilic capacity to wick away surplus moisture. Wool’s natural insulating quality and its ability to shed water makes it an ideal yarn for making carpets.

Liquid repellent: Small overlapping scales like construction of wool, encase the wool fibres similar to tiles on a roof. This helps wool to repel liquid spills with ease.
