One of our most popular textiles is wool. Comfortable underfoot and hardwearing, it comes in a diverse selection of colours. Alternatively, our mixed fibres rugs blend wool with natural plant fibres, such as jute, linen, sisal and cotton, to create innovative designs that are truly eye-catching.

Jute
Jute comes from the inner bark of plants of the genus Cochorous, which grows in regions of Asia to a height of more than 3m. After harvesting, the stalks are placed in a moving stream of water so that the fibre can be removed. The strands can be up to 2m long. After being washed and sun-dried, they are taken to spinning mills to be made into yarn for use in products such as floor coverings.
Seagrass
Seagrass is grown in China and Vietnam in paddy fields that are flooded with sea water. It is harvested, dried out and made into a yarn that's suitable for weaving into many designs. The finished product is backed with latex to provide a natural, hard-wearing floor covering.
Sisal
Sisal is the product of a plant that grows in China, Brazil and East Africa. The fibre is obtained from the leaves of the Agave Sisalana, and they're separated using a process called decortication. They are then washed and dried, before being graded. Finally, they are spun into a yarn that has many uses, including floor coverings.
Coir
Coir fibre is extracted from coconuts. It comes from the husk and is separated by a mechanical process, or by hand. The woody part is removed, leaving the coarse fibres, which are then washed and dried. Finally, they are hacked, before being spun into a durable yarn.
Wool
Wool has been used for making carpets since 3000 BC. It creates a warm, luxurious carpet that's renowned for its durability, and is a popular choice thanks to its natural resiliency, easy care, anti-static properties and flame retardancy. These properties make it an excellent choice for a luxurious floor covering.
