How To Get The Best Wool Rug For Your Home?

Answer 1

Wool is the best fiber for area rugs and one of the best fibers for broad loom carpeting. Wool is a natural fiber with natural soil resistance and resiliency. It takes dyes very well for rich, bright colors or subtle natural hues. Wool is a renewable fiber that comes from sheering sheep periodically. You will find wool rugs at the top of the price range, but they last longer, looking better, so are still a good value. Since wool rugs come in a large variety of styles, patterns, constructions and qualities, you will need to do some homework to get the best one for your home.

The first step is to decide what style your home is decorated in so you can get a wool rug that will coordinate with it. You should know the types and styles of wool rugs available so you can make a better decision. Wool rugs come as area rugs or broadloom rugs. Area rugs come in standard sizes like 3' x 5', 5' x 8', 6' x 9', 9' x 11', hall runners and so on. Broad loom carpets come 12' feet,13 feet or 15 feet wide on rolls and are purchased and installed to fit rooms as wall to wall carpet. Broadloom wool carpets can be made with ax minster, tufted, cut pile or woven construction on large looms. Wool area rugs can be hand woven, hand tufted or machine made, but all types have bound edges, some with fringes on the ends. Wool rugs can be very traditional designs like oriental rugs or southwest woven rugs or very contemporary with bright colors and geometric patterns or Berber textures.
