Wool is timeless, and ancient in its service to mankind.  Its vibrant solids and heathered colors can not be duplicated in synthetic fibers.   The beauty of wool offers a wide range of styles from extremely formal to casual.  Here's a few more reasons why we love wool:

• Wool adds value to your home and is the ultimate statement of style and comfort.
• A renewable resource that is biodegradable and emits no harmful emissions, wool is the most ecological carpet fiber available. 
  
• Renowned for its performance and wearing qualities, wool is naturally resilient, soil and stain resistant and is naturally fire retardant.
• Contributes to indoor air purity as it traps airborne contaminants such as dust and pollen.  It also absorbs pollutants like formaldehyde, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide.
• While dust mites can be found in both wool and synthetic carpets, generally the conditions are too cold, too dry, and too exposed to light.  Dust mites live mainly in beds and upholstery, which have the right conditions of temperature and humidity.
• Wool is chemically the same as human hair and is a non-allergenic fiber that does not promote the growth of bacteria or dust mites.  Wool fibers are too long and coarse to be inhaled and therefore do not affect asthma sufferers.
  
• Wool helps regulate temperature and humidity making it cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter - a great energy saver.
  
• The higher moisture and protein content makes wool more resistant to static electricity.
