WOOL…The original soft fiber! Wool is soft, safe, durable
and environmentally friendly. There is a reason why so many antique area rugs that have survived generations
were made from wool fiber. Hotels in Las Vegas, where carpets endure millions of footsteps each day, rely on
wool carpets to perform to the highest standards demanded by the hospitality industry. Wool carpets and
rugs clean wonderfully and retain their original appearance throughout their long, useful life!
Wools of New Zealand supplies the carpet and rug
industry with the finest available wool fiber. New Zealand wool is the purest, cleanest, sturdiest wool fiber
in the world. Clean and white, New Zealand wool makes for the purest and most brilliant
colorations necessary for production of beautiful carpets and rugs. Wool fiber from Wools of New Zealand must past
stringent tests to warrant bearing this prestigious label.
Moorman's Distinctive Carpets and Area Rug
s has been home to one of the largest and most complete collections
of wool products for your floor in the southwest. For 45 years, Henry Moorman and his staff have found unique,
fashionable and reputable sources who supply fine wool carpets and area rugs. From domestic gems featuring Karastan
Carpets and Area Rugs to our designer inspired imports from Schumacher, Stanton, Nourison, Bellbride and more.
Synthetic carpets have tried to duplicate the many favorable features of wool carpet, but have never perfected an
accurate clone. Today, almost every nylon carpet features applied stain protectants and the newest technology in "soft
yarn" reproduction. Texture retention and wear warranties are posted in effort to give the consumer some sort of
confidence that it can perform, wear and maintain its appearance like a wool carpet. Wool, in its natural state, is the
softest, most resilient, soil resistant and cleanable fiber in the industry. Wool carpet will maintain its original appearance
longer, clean better and can last for years to come.
Wool carpets are an environmentally responsible product…biodegradable and a renewable resource. Wool absorbs
contaminants in the air, actually improving the air quality in your environment. Wool carpets and area rugs are "fire
safe"*
