Wool Rugs provide the most luxurious comfort from ultra soft fibres, but there are many fibres that offer superior properties.
Man-made fibres do not shed and are much more hard wearing, offer higher degrees of stain resistance. Mand-made fibre are also colourfast and will not fade in direct sunlight. Perhaps one of the best advantages to a wool rug is that they are more eco-friendly than those of machine made, synthetic counterparts. Synthetic fibers are known to release harmful toxins known as VOC's

- Wool is more resistent to tearing.

Aside from all that, its original and most natural advantage is that it keeps sheep warm and insulated against the elements.
