Natural Tones

Made from 50% wool and 50% polypropylene, it is well suited to heavy domestic use. This composition helps to act as a natural insulator as it traps air within its fibres, which slows the movement of heat through the carpet. The Natural Tones range benefits from the natural stain-resistant properties of both wool and polypropylene. This is because one of the naturally occurring components of the fleece is lanolin, which is widely used in soap and cosmetics production. The fleece is washed, combed and spun into yarn for carpet production, but the wool retains its natural stain-resistant properties through these processes. In addition, the polypropylene fibres are not porous, making it easy to clean stains and remove dirt. This helps the carpet to repel many household stains and makes it well suited to homes with young children. The yarn is also treated with permethrin during the spinning stage which makes it moth resistant.
