J Mish carpet: a designer's guide to the wool line, the constructions and where it belongs
J Mish carpet is wool and wool-blend broadloom from J Mish Carpets, a Nourison brand that describes itself as woven in the USA. It is for the designer who wants a wool floor, a tufted texture, a hand-loomed plain, a Wilton stripe, in a residential room, with pile heights and face weights on the spec sheet so the choice can be made on numbers. Interiors carries 68 J Mish styles, all broadloom, on the J Mish brand page, with complimentary samples for approved trade accounts shipped from the mill.
The mill
J Mish Carpets is a brand of Nourison, and its own line is "J Mish Carpets by Nourison, woven in the USA". Our catalog records the country of origin style by style: 41 styles are made in India, 23 in the USA and 3 in Belgium, which fits a line that mixes American tufting and weaving with hand-loomed goods. What unites the line is fiber. Every J Mish style we carry is wool or wool blend; there is no nylon, polyester or polypropylene in the group. Most J Mish spec sheets carry pile height and face weight, which lets a designer compare two textures on the numbers rather than by feel alone.
What we carry
Of the 68 styles, 52 are wool and 16 wool blend. By construction, 30 are tufted, 29 hand-loomed and hand-woven, 4 Wilton, 3 machine woven and 2 hand-tufted. Tufted wool is the workhorse: loops and cut piles in heathers and textures. Hand-loomed wool is deep and soft and is the construction for a bedroom or a living room where the floor is felt. Wilton and machine-woven styles lock the pattern into the backing and are the ones for a stair. By pile, 49 styles are low, to 0.30 in, and 16 are medium, 0.31 to 0.50 in; a low wool pile is what a hall or a stair needs.
Roll widths are 12 ft on 23 styles, 15 ft on 19, 13 ft 2 in on 8 and 16 ft 4 in on 8; the 15 ft and 16 ft 4 in goods take a large bedroom or a living room without a seam. By pattern, 19 styles are textures, 18 geometrics, 13 stripes, 11 solids and 5 plaids and checks. Every style is made to order, and 67 of the 68 are custom rug available.
Collections to know
J Mish groups its styles into small named collections, most of two to four styles. We carry Cody (4 styles), Heathers (4), Heatherweave (4), the Sun Collection (3), Hampton (2), Pastoral (2), San Marco (2), Sisal Boucle (2), Lana (2), Radiance (2) and Lauren (1). The rest of the 68 are listed by style on the brand page.
Where it belongs
J Mish wool carpet belongs in bedrooms, living rooms, dining rooms, studies and halls, the rooms of a residence where a wool floor earns its cost. For a bedroom, the hand-loomed group is the first choice: deep, soft and quiet. For a living room or a family room, a tufted wool loop or a low cut pile in a heather hides tracking and takes a vacuum well. For a hall or a stair, choose a Wilton or a machine-woven stripe or plaid, or a low tufted loop; the pattern holds at the nosing and the low pile does not crush on the tread. Keep wool out of a kitchen, a bath or a mudroom, where water is routine.
Custom rugs and runners
Custom rug is available on 67 of the 68 J Mish styles, cut and bound through our Design Studio. A bound wool rug under a dining table, a stair runner from a stripe, a room-size rug with a border from a hand-loomed plain: send us the room plan or the stair count and tread width and we will draw it and quote it net. The 15 ft and 16 ft 4 in widths let a large rug be made without a seam.

Questions designers ask
Is J Mish carpet good quality?
Yes. It is an all-wool line from a Nourison brand, with pile height and face weight on most spec sheets, which is the mark of a mill that expects to be compared on the numbers. The tufted heathers are dense and the hand-loomed plains are deep. Choose a low pile for halls and stairs and reserve the softer hand-loomed styles for bedrooms, and sample first.
How much does J Mish carpet cost?
Net pricing is quoted to approved trade accounts; we do not publish J Mish carpet prices. Within the line, cost is driven by construction, hand-loomed and Wilton above tufted, by fiber, wool above wool blend, and by width, with the 15 ft and 16 ft 4 in goods priced per yard above 12 ft. Tell us the room and we will quote the two or three styles that fit.
Where is J Mish carpet made?
It varies by style. The brand describes itself as woven in the USA, and our catalog records 23 styles made in the USA, 41 in India and 3 in Belgium, with the hand-loomed goods accounting for much of the Indian production. Ask us for the spec sheet on the specific style you are considering and we will confirm the country of origin.
Where can I buy J Mish carpet?
Through J Mish dealers and trade showrooms such as Interiors. We carry 68 J Mish styles for interior design professionals, with the library on the floor in the Laguna Design Center, and we ship and install nationwide. J Mish samples ship from the mill to your office.
Can J Mish carpet be made into a rug or stair runner?
Yes. Custom rug is available on 67 of the 68 styles, cut and bound through our Design Studio. For a stair runner, choose a Wilton, a machine-woven or a low tufted loop in one of the 13 stripes or 5 plaids; for a room rug, the hand-loomed plains bind cleanly and the wide goods avoid a seam.
Is J Mish wool carpet practical with children and pets?
In the living rooms and bedrooms, yes. Wool is resilient and releases soil in cleaning, and a low tufted loop or a heathered cut pile hides tracking and the odd mark. Keep it out of the rooms where water is routine, and for a client with dogs choose a loop or a dense low cut pile over a deep hand-loomed plain.
