Why we use New Zealand & Argentinian wool?

Why we use New Zealand & Argentinian wool?

New Zealand wool is naturally resistant to stains and odors, making maintenance a breeze. Its unique fiber structure helps repel dirt and liquids, keeping your rug looking fresh and clean. The use of both New Zealand and Argentinian yarn in our rugs isn’t just to sound pleasant to the ears, it also serves an important purpose when it comes to durability. Animals from colder climates such as New Zealand and Argentina produce higher amounts of lanolin.

Importance and benefits of Lanolin in Wool fibre.

Lanolin is a wax-like oil that is derived from the glands and then into the wool of the sheep - it acts as a type of waterproof insulation from the cold that enables the wool to grow longer and stronger which is very important when weaving the yarn together. If we were to use sheep from warmer climates their wool would be far shorter and coarser resulting in shedding during the spinning process and consequently shedding in rug.

Sheep fibres from cold climates is the most important factors, when choosing the your wool rugs fibres and you grasp the impact their precious lanolin has on your rug. From the shearing of the sheep to laying the rug down in your home the end product is a naturally stain-resistant rug that can negotiate the toughest of spills AND the maximum amount of foot traffic (Without shedding).

Why choose wool for carpet making?
