wool carpets

Sheared sheep underfoot

Wool carpets are floor coverings made from sheep's wool fiber, valued for their durability, natural resilience, and ability to hold dye.

Wool has been used in carpet-making for thousands of years and remains a premium material: They chose wool carpets for the living room despite the higher cost.

Wool carpets resist staining better than synthetics and age gracefully.
