CARPET FIBRES & YARNS
As you are on a computer right now, you’ll know just how difficult it is to keep up with all the latest technology and carpet evolves too. All carpets result from the manipulation of raw fibre and with a few exceptions, this fibre goes through a spinning process to turn it into carpet yarn. This batch of yarn is then twisted, pulled and woven to make carpet with three main methods – weaving, tufting and bonding.
All carpets have something special to offer, whether it is luxurious warmth, being easy to clean, having a whole load of resistance to carpet flammability, standing up to footfall, or even just pure and simple good pricing.
Sometimes, just like we have to brainstorm with each other to get the best ideas, carpet manufacturers have to blend different fibre types together to ensure that the carpet can deliver specific performance properties. Generally, wool is blended with other materials to create woolrich carpets.
The fibres available for manufacturers to blend fall into two distinct categories – natural and man made fibres.
