Rugs and carpet by fiber to the trade
Rugs and carpet by fiber to the trade: the yarn decides how a floor cleans, fades, crushes and feels, so specify fiber before color. Wool (2,457 styles) and wool blend (1,209) are most of the library and the default for a residence; nylon (668) is the stair, hallway and family room fiber; silk and viscose (214) is sheen for a bedroom with no pets; sisal, jute and seagrass (120) and cotton and linen (16) are the naturals; polyester (659) and polypropylene (585) are the value and outdoor fibers; leather and hide (55) and vinyl and performance (2) round it out.
Each fiber page gives the honest case: what it does well, where it fails, how it cleans and which mills do it best. The specialty hairs, alpaca, mohair, bamboo silk and linen, are at specialty fibers; the constructions are at construction.
