New Zealand Wool Rugs: FAQ
Why choose New Zealand wool for a rug?
New Zealand wool has long, strong fibres and natural brightness, so it dyes to clear colours and makes a resilient, even pile.
Is New Zealand wool softer than other wool?
It is usually smoother and more even than coarser carpet wools, though softness also depends on the yarn, the pile height and how the rug is finished.
