Wool carpet: 1,703 styles from the mills designers spec
Wool carpet is broadloom spun from sheep's fleece, most often New Zealand or British wool, the fiber that hides soil, resists crushing and ages well in a client's primary rooms. Interiors carries 1,703 100 percent wool carpet styles, made to order and shipped from the mill, from Prestige Mills (222), Couristan (139), Nourison (135) and Kaleen (113).
Construction is where the spec gets made. 478 styles are hand-loomed, the textured loops at 1/2 to 3/4 inch that carry a living room; 330 are Wilton woven, the plaids and stripes that go on stairs; 397 are tufted cut piles and loops, the plain wall-to-wall at 12 and 15 foot widths; 145 are machine woven and 99 flatweave. New Zealand wool carpet is whiter and takes a pale color cleanly; British wool is coarser and better in a loop. Bellbridge's Avenue, Boulevard and Promenade are the plain New Zealand cut piles we spec most.
Is wool a good carpet material?
Yes, the best natural one. It is flame resistant, holds its pile under furniture, releases dry soil to a vacuum and does not off-gas. It should not be steam cleaned or left wet, so keep it out of a mudroom.
What is the best carpet to put in a bedroom?
A wool cut pile or a hand-loomed loop at 1/2 inch, quiet and warm. For a rental, nylon. See the bedroom carpet guide.
What does wool carpet cost to install?
We do not publish prices; net pricing on carpet, pad and installation is quoted to approved trade accounts once we have the plan, anywhere in the United States. Compare with nylon carpet and the wool rug collection.
