Yarns
100% or 80/20% wool/nylon blend is used in the manufacturing of our carpets. The wool/nylon blend has been determined as the most economical and practical for contractual installation. This blend combines the softness, comfort and warmth of wool with the durability properties of nylon. The nylon also plays a key factor in preventing the yarn from shedding.
