Wool Carpet Headquarters!

Wool carpeting stands as a premier choice for homeowners seeking a blend of natural beauty, durability, and comfort. At Pelletier Rug, we pride ourselves on our extensive selection of high-quality wool carpets sourced from renowned mills worldwide.

Our collection includes an impressive array of wool carpet remnants, offering substantial savings without compromising on quality.

Advantages of Wool Carpeting

• Natural and Sustainable: Wool is a renewable resource, making it an environmentally responsible flooring option. Its biodegradable nature ensures minimal environmental impact at the end of its lifespan.
• Durability and Resilience: The inherent elasticity of wool fibers allows them to recover quickly from compression, maintaining the carpet's appearance over time. This resilience makes it particularly suitable for high-traffic areas such as hallways and stairs.
• Insulation and Sound Absorption: Wool's natural insulating properties contribute to energy efficiency by retaining warmth, potentially reducing heating costs. Additionally, they effectively absorb sound, enhancing the acoustic comfort of your home.
• Soil and Stain Resistance: The unique structure of wool fibers features tiny overlapping scales that repel dirt and liquids, providing a natural barrier against stains. This characteristic allows for easier maintenance and prolongs the carpet's aesthetic appeal.
• Enhanced Indoor Air Quality: Wool carpets can absorb airborne pollutants, such as dust and pollen, effectively acting as natural air filters. This attribute contributes to a healthier indoor environment, especially beneficial for individuals with allergies.

Soil-Hiding Capabilities

Unlike synthetic fibers, which are often translucent and can reveal dirt beneath the surface, wool fibers are opaque. This opacity means that any soil trapped behind the yarn remains concealed, maintaining the carpet's clean appearance. For instance, dirt on a wool coat can often be brushed away easily, whereas synthetic materials may show smudges when rubbed.

Wool is natural, healthy, durable, beautiful, and soft.

How does wool hide soil?

Wool is opaque, unlike synthetic fibers which are translucent. Synthetic fibers accept dye, but their translucent nature makes them like fishing line: You can see through the fiber. This means that soil behind the yarn is still visible. It adds a dulling or dinging effect to the carpet.

Since we can't see through wool fiber, dirt that is behind the yarn is invisible to us. Here's an example that most people understand. If you are wearing a wool coat and get some dirt on it, you can usually just brush the coat and the dirt disappears. But if you are wearing a polyester coat and rub the dirt, you end up with a smudge instead.

Wool will provide you with that same soil hiding ability.

How is wool carpet different from synthetic pile carpet?

One main difference is how they wear. It is common today that synthetic pile carpets come with a wear warranty. These wear warranties say that the synthetic pile carpets will not wear out (usually defined as 10% or more pile loss, over the entire carpet, not just traffic areas). Here's what you need to know about these warranties. Synthetic pile carpets do not wear out. They ugly out. They get matted, and lose their new appearance.

Wool carpet wears completely differently. It will wear out . . . eventually. But while it wears, wool maintains a beautiful appearance. This is a key difference. Synthetics will "wear" virtually forever, but will lose their appearance. Wool maintains its appearance.
