Nature's Carpet: a designer's guide to the line, the fibers and where it belongs
Nature's Carpet is the natural wool broadloom line from Colin Campbell and Sons of Vancouver, built on undyed and natural-dye wool, natural backings and low-emission construction. It is for the designer whose client has asked for a non-toxic carpet, a nursery or bedroom floor with nothing synthetic in it, or simply a heavy, honest wool loop or cut pile in undyed color. Interiors carries 55 Nature's Carpet styles, 37 broadloom and 18 Wool Textures rugs, on the Nature's Carpet brand page, with complimentary samples for approved trade accounts.
The mill
Nature's Carpet comes from Colin Campbell and Sons of Vancouver, and the line's whole purpose is a carpet with as little in it as possible: wool that is undyed or low-impact dyed, backings of natural jute and latex, and emissions testing the mill publishes. We carry the Nature's Carpet line only, not the wider Colin Campbell range. Most styles are insect-resist treated, our catalog marks 29 of them, and rated for heavy residential use, with pile weights from 17 to 68 oz. Settle the weight first: a 17 oz loop and a 68 oz cut pile are very different floors.
What we carry
Of the 55 styles, 54 are wool and 1 is a wool blend. Undyed New Zealand wool runs through the Everest, Element, Aberdeen, Ambrosia, Bern and Belltower lines. By construction, 31 are tufted loops and cut piles, 4 are flatwoven loop pile, 1 is hand-tufted and 1 is a woven Wilton. Wool is resilient, cleans well and holds undyed and heathered color better than any synthetic, and a tufted wool loop in a natural color is the most forgiving residential floor there is: it hides tracking, recovers from furniture and ages evenly.
Roll widths are 13 ft 2 in (24 styles), 12 ft (9), 15 ft (3) and 13 ft (1). By pattern, 39 styles are textures, 7 are abstract and modern, 4 are solids, 2 are geometrics and 2 are plaids. Every style is made to order. The 18 Wool Textures rugs are made in India (17 in our catalog) and Nepal (2); for the broadloom, ask us for the spec sheet on a specific style and we will confirm where it is made.
Collections to know
Wool Broadloom (33 styles) is the core line, the tufted loops and cut piles in undyed and natural-dye wool. Exclusive Broadloom (4) is the Sorrento, Malta, Corsica and Everest group. Wool Textures (18) are the hand-made wool rugs in the Moroccan, Weave, Bling and Cobble series, made in India and Nepal in custom sizes. Styles to know include Jasper, Thurlow, Soho, Waterford, Cleopatra and Tuscany.
Where it belongs
Bedrooms first. A nursery, a child's room or a primary bedroom is where a client asks for a non-toxic carpet, and an undyed wool loop with a jute backing is the direct answer. Living rooms and family rooms take the heavier cut piles and loops; wool at the upper end of the 17 to 68 oz range stands up to daily use and cleans well, and the insect-resist treatment on most styles covers the moth question that comes up with every wool spec. Halls and landings take the flatwoven loops and the lower-pile tufted loops, which hide tracking. On a stair, specify the Wilton or a tight flatwoven loop rather than a deep cut pile. The Wool Textures rugs go under a seating group or at the foot of a bed, in a custom size, where the hand-made surface is the point. Keep wool out of a mudroom or a covered porch; it is a natural fiber and belongs indoors.
Custom rugs and runners
Custom rug is available on all 37 broadloom styles, cut and bound through our Design Studio, and the 18 Wool Textures rugs are made to custom sizes at the mill. Send us the room dimensions or the stair count and tread width and we will draw it and quote it net, with the rendering and net quote in about two weeks.

Questions designers ask
Is Nature's Carpet good quality?
Yes. It is wool, most of it undyed New Zealand wool, on natural jute and latex backings, rated for heavy residential use with pile weights from 17 to 68 oz. Choose the weight for the room, and sample first, because undyed wool varies in tone from lot to lot and the client should see that before the install.
Is Nature's Carpet non-toxic?
That is the point of the line. The wool is undyed or low-impact dyed, the backings are natural jute and latex, and the mill publishes its emissions testing. Ask us for the spec sheet on any style and we will send the documentation with the sample.
How much does Nature's Carpet cost?
Nature's Carpet sits in the mid-to-upper range for wool broadloom. Net pricing is quoted to approved trade accounts; we do not publish Nature's Carpet prices. Cost is driven by pile weight, a 68 oz cut pile well above a 17 oz loop, by construction, the Wilton and hand-made rugs above tufted, and by width.
Where is Nature's Carpet made?
The line comes from Colin Campbell and Sons of Vancouver. The Wool Textures rugs are made in India and Nepal. For the broadloom, our catalog does not record the country of origin by style, so ask us for the spec sheet on the specific style you are considering.
Where can I buy Nature's Carpet?
Through trade showrooms such as Interiors. We carry 55 Nature's Carpet styles for interior design professionals, with the library on the floor in the Laguna Design Center, and we ship and install nationwide. Nature's Carpet samples ship from the mill to your office.
Can Nature's Carpet be made into a rug or stair runner?
Yes. Custom rug is available on all 37 broadloom styles, cut and bound through our Design Studio, and the 18 Wool Textures rugs are made to custom sizes at the mill. For a stair runner, choose the Wilton or a tight flatwoven loop and send us the stair count and tread width.
What is the most natural type of carpet?
Undyed wool on a jute backing, which is what most of this line is. Wool is a renewable fiber that needs no dye to have color, jute and natural latex replace the synthetic backings on most broadloom, and the mill's emissions testing is published. If the client's brief is the most natural floor, Nature's Carpet is the first book we open.
