MATERIALS
Wool Yarn: Our high quality long fiber New Zealand wool is:
- Scoured - cleaned of excess lanolin and foreign materials,
- Carded – combed to align the fibers, and;
- Spun – formed into yarn.
Handspun yarn has varying diameter along its length, which takes dye unequally and produces a “nubby” or textured look in the finished rug. This variation in dye absorption yields a pleasant color gradation across the rug that cannot be achieved using machine-spun wool.
Machine spun yarn has uniform diameter, which takes dye evenly and produces an even color and smooth finish.
Dyes: Swiss Chrome Dyes
