Alternative Flooring ‘Wool Carpets’
Wool carpet
Snug and warm underfoot, all wool carpets and rugs provide pleasure and practicality not only high on comfort but also great for sound and heat insulation. Made from 100% wool they are classic, hard wearing and durable.
Pebble is an open weave with a pompom, pebble style design that is soft and sensual, simple yet sophisticated. Cord is the opposite, tightly woven with crisp, clean lines.
Dapple almost moves underfoot. It is soft with delicate dapples of colour wafting through the weave whilst Linear is the affordable timeless ribbed option.
Tipple and Boucle are tactile weaves in a great range of natural colours.'
