PURE WOOL… PURER INTENTIONS Nothing is truly beautiful if it doesn’t maintain the natural beauty of our environment. So Bremworth are drawing a line in the sand – and on your floor – and ceasing production of all synthetic carpet in favour of wool. We have always been champions of pure wool carpet,so we are very happy to be joining Bremworth on this journey to a brighter and more beautiful tomorrow – and a magnificent floor today.

<strong>Style</strong> | Home 45 Underfoot There are many factors to consider when choosing a floor covering. Natural or synthetic? Easy-to-clean or noise-cancelling? Hard-wearing or plush? Michelle Laming shares her interior know-how. Carpet feels Most modern carpet is created by threading closely spaced loops of fibre through large sheets of backing material. Natural-fibre carpets are made mostly from the wool of sheep or alpaca. Synthetic-fibre carpets are made from materials such as solution-dyed nylon or polyester. Lately, there has been a huge push out of Italy to use recycled products, such as fishing nets. In terms of look there are three main types of carpet, depending on whether the loops are cut or not during manufacturing: • Cut pile plush has an upright pile that creates a lush appearance. Because it is moveable, it feels like velvet underfoot and is fabulous to lie on. • Cut pile twist can be a semi or hard twist, where the fibre is assisted with a twist to show less visual movement and give a more structured look. • Loop pile has had an image boost of late, primarily within modern homes where less is best. Carpet is manufactured in huge rolls, 3.66m or 4m wide, and sold in a linear format. The location of the joins dictates the amount of carpet used. Top tips • All cut pile carpets will track (show visual movement) over time, but higher ounces represent better quality and will be harder wearing. This is especially important for stairs. • Loop pile carpet used to track over time too, but the new Bremworth range – where the wool has been felted – has been a game changer in this respect. • Different-sized loops are designed to complement each other within different areas of the home. • Manufacturers can make custom rugs, from rectangular to round ones, which is a breath of fresh air for those of us who like to specify.
