Wool Rugs Offer Beauty and Durability
There is a reason that, for centuries, skilled rug makers have used wool to weave their masterpieces. Soft yet strong, wool holds dye beautifully, and thanks to the naturally-occurring lanolin that coats the fibres, it's even somewhat stain- and water-resistant. All of these qualities make it an almost ideal material from which to make rugs. Even today, with a wide variety of excellent synthetic materials available, wool is still the preferred choice for area rugs that are bound to become treasured heirlooms. Wool rugs often require something of an investment, and while they are incredibly durable and stain-resistant, you'll likely want to opt for a performance rug for the playroom and a weather-resistant indoor/outdoor rug on the patio. A plush wool rug is, however, the perfect choice for adding warmth, colour and texture to your living room or bedroom.
