Selection criteria for wool carpets

Carpets made of natural materials, especially wool, are very popular. Wool carpets are characterized by high quality. Their only disadvantage is that at first the fibers climb out of it, which significantly complicates the care of them. Carpets are stored in rolled rolls, so it does not deform and does not lose its shape. It is quite difficult to remove the stain from the carpet, so you should use it carefully. With proper care and storage, the carpet will last 20-50 years. Wool perfectly absorbs moisture, does not create static electricity.

When buying a carpet, you should pay attention to the knitting density. Many people believe that the heavier the carpet, the better and denser it is, but this is not the case. You can judge the density of the carpet by the clarity of the pattern. Dense knitting gives a clear, pronounced pattern, in addition, such a carpet does not deform, maintaining its original state. As with any purchase, there must be special documents for the carpet, where all its characteristics are indicated. High-quality wool carpets have a density of 300,000 to 2 million knots per 1 square meter. A thick carpet will last much longer.

An equally important characteristic of a wool carpet is its pattern. A real carpet can be recognized immediately, because the pattern on it exactly repeats the pattern of the front side. Carpets are painted in two ways. The first method is that the paint is applied to the finished carpet. This option is inexpensive. In the second method, the yarn itself is dyed, and then a carpet is made from it. The color of the carpet will help it harmoniously fit into the overall interior of a room or apartment. For a well-lit room on the south side, a carpet of cold tones is suitable. It is better that the carpet is close in color to the shade of the floor, then the carpet will look stylish and appropriate. You should not choose too colorful carpet. Against the background of a dark floor, carpets look great by a lighter tone. For a small room, it is not recommended to buy a carpet with a too colorful pattern.

The cost of the carpet depends on several factors. First of all, it depends on the length of the pile. A carpet with a long pile has a higher price than a short one. Carpets are made of sheep, goat, camel wool. Goat's wool is valued less compared to camel's. European manufacturers produce high-quality wool carpets at an affordable price. The products of folk craftsmen also attract buyers and inspire confidence. For many buyers, the shape of the carpet is of great importance. Square carpets are less appreciated, since they are much easier to make than oval ones. They are correspondingly cheaper.

Wool carpets can cause an allergic reaction in humans, so consult your doctor before buying.
