Wool can really add class and elegance to a room. A Textured wool carpet can provide a contemporary feel, whilst still retaining the warmth and comfort that is desired with soft floorings.


Wool is typically resilient to wear which can make it a great option for most. The fact that it is a natural sustainable fibre makes it a great option for someone that wants to be aware of their impact on the environment.


However, Wool can come at a slightly higher price point which can often deter anyone that has a slightly restricted budget.
