Wool Advantages

Naturally Superior

Those with a sense of style - and a sense of value - choose wool carpets and rugs. Why? Because wool simply looks beautiful, longer.

Natural wool ages gracefully, continually renewing itself and developing a rich patina as years pass. While synthetic fibers will become scratched, scarred and dull over time, wool carpets and rugs remain vibrant to the eye and supple to the touch.

Your style demands high design and high performance; natural wool delivers, year after year after year.
