Fibreworks carpet: a designer's guide to the line, the fibers and where it belongs
Fibreworks carpet is natural-fiber broadloom, sisal, wool, jute, seagrass and indoor-outdoor polypropylene, from the mill that most designers know first for Fibreworks rugs cut and bound to size. It is for the designer who needs a bordered sisal under a dining table, a wool herringbone on a stair, or a polypropylene that will live on a covered porch at the beach. Interiors carries 169 Fibreworks styles, every one available as broadloom or custom rug, on the Fibreworks brand page, with complimentary samples for approved trade accounts.
The mill
Fibreworks is the natural-fiber broadloom house behind sisal, wool, jute and indoor-outdoor carpet cut and bound into custom rugs. Each style is a collection in its own right, with its colorways named for the places and textures that inspired it, which is why the line reads as a long list of style names rather than a handful of collections. The Katha Living line, Fibreworks' hand-loomed wool program, has its own page on this site. Every Fibreworks style is made to order and ships from the mill. The pack does not record a country of origin; ask us for the spec sheet on a specific style and we will confirm where it is made.
What we carry
Of the 169 styles, 61 are sisal, jute and seagrass, 59 are wool, 33 are polypropylene and 16 are wool blends. By construction, 103 are machine woven, 31 Wilton, 20 tufted and 9 hand-loomed, with 2 braided and 2 hand-knotted pieces. Machine-woven sisal and wool are the workhorses: a tight weave that holds on a stair, takes a border cleanly and wears for years. Wilton locks the pattern into the backing, which is where the geometrics and herringbones live. The polypropylene styles are solution-dyed, so they resist stains and sun, and 33 styles are rated for indoor and outdoor use.
Roll widths run 13 ft 2 in (63 styles), 13 ft (39), 16 ft 4 in (30) and 16 ft 3 in (16), so most rooms are seamless. By pattern, 48 styles are textures, 39 are geometrics, 21 are herringbone and chevron, 18 are solids and 17 are stripes. That mix is why a Fibreworks stair runner can carry a chevron rather than a plain weave.
Collections to know
Because each style is its own collection, the collection pages on this site are single-style pages: Zira, Togo, Siskiyou, Mermaid, Celio, Calypso and Bakari each hold one style and its colorways. The better way to shop the line is by fiber and pattern on the brand page. Styles to know include Montauk, Oak Bluffs, Wilderness, Twisted, Retreat, Cabin, Camelot and Alchemy.
Where it belongs
The sisal and wool lines are the workhorses for stairs, family rooms and dining rooms. On a stair, a tight machine-woven sisal or a sisal-wool blend wears well and shows the tread; we steer away from loose bouclé weaves on a staircase, and the herringbone and chevron patterns are made for a straight run. Under a dining table, a bordered sisal or seagrass sheds crumbs and takes a vacuum. In a family room, wool or a wool blend gives the natural look with a softer hand, and the Wilton geometrics put pattern on the floor without a printed carpet. The polypropylene lines go on covered porches, in mudrooms and in beach houses, anywhere sand, water and sun are part of the brief. Keep jute, the softest plant fiber, to a bedroom.
Custom rugs and runners
Custom rug is available on all 169 styles. Every Fibreworks style can be fabricated into a custom-size rug or runner through our Design Studio, with serged or bound edges and the mill's own borders, which is what most designers mean when they search for Fibreworks custom rugs. Send us the room plan or the stair count and tread width and we will draw it, pick the border and quote it net, with the rendering and net quote in about two weeks.

Questions designers ask
Is Fibreworks carpet good quality?
Yes. Fibreworks is a natural-fiber specialist with 103 machine-woven and 31 Wilton styles, the two constructions that hold up on a stair and take a border cleanly. Match the fiber to the room: sisal and wool for traffic, polypropylene for outdoors and wet rooms, jute for a bedroom. Sample first, because the hand of a sisal and a wool blend in the same pattern is very different.
How much does Fibreworks carpet cost?
Fibreworks sits in the mid range for natural-fiber flooring, with the wool and hand-loomed styles above the plant fibers and polypropylene. Net pricing is quoted to approved trade accounts; we do not publish Fibreworks carpet prices. Cost is driven by fiber, by construction, by width and, for a rug, by the border and finishing.
Where is Fibreworks carpet made?
Our catalog does not record a country of origin for the Fibreworks line, and it varies by style and fiber. Ask us for the spec sheet on the specific style you are considering and we will confirm where it is made.
Where can I buy Fibreworks rugs?
Through Fibreworks dealers and trade showrooms such as Interiors. We carry 169 Fibreworks styles for interior design professionals, every one available as a custom rug, with the library on the floor in the Laguna Design Center, and we ship and install nationwide. Fibreworks samples ship from the mill to your office.
Is Fibreworks sisal good for stairs?
Yes, with the right construction. A tight machine-woven sisal or a sisal-wool blend wears well on stairs and shows the tread; we steer away from loose bouclé weaves on a staircase. Ask us for the mill's stair guidance for the style you are considering, and send the stair count and tread width so we can draw the runner.
Which natural fiber is the most durable?
Sisal, for a plant fiber: it is firmer and tighter than seagrass or jute and is the one we put on stairs and in halls. Wool is the most resilient natural fiber overall, because it recovers from crush and cleans well, and a sisal-wool blend gives most of the durability with a softer hand. Jute is the softest and the least durable.
How do I clean a natural fiber rug?
Vacuum regularly with suction rather than a beater bar, and blot spills at once; plant fibers absorb water, so keep wet cleaning to a minimum and do not soak the rug. The polypropylene styles can be hosed and dried. Ask us for the mill's care sheet on the style you specify and pass it to the client with the install.
