Karastan Wool Rugs

 

When you buy Karastan wool rugs, you can feel confident you are purchasing the best flooring for your home. As the largest processor of wool carpets and rugs in America, and the only company to make worsted wool products, you can be assured you are buying the very best. The advantage is unique in that Karastan is the only company in America to control every step of the manufacturing process — from fiber to fashion — all the way through to Karastan's patented luster wash finish. No other U.S. manufacturer goes to such extremes to ensure your flooring makes a statement that reflects your good taste.

 

Features and Benefits of Karastan Wool Rugs

Only Karastan combines the best manufacturing techniques with the purest New Zealand wool to bring you exceptional carpets and rugs.

It's no wonder Karastan wools offer numerous advantages for you and your family:

  • Easy to Clean. Natural resilience to dirt and soiling make Karastan wools exceptionally easy to maintain.
  • Non-Allergenic. Karastan wools are safe for your family. Wool is a non-allergenic fiber; it does not promote the growth of bacteria or dust mites, or give off harmful emissions.
  • Strong and Durable. Patented woven technology ensures Karastan wools are incredibly durable and strong, creating products that last.
  • Crush Resistant. Natural crimp gives Karastan wools built-in resilience to crushing. Furniture marks disappear when the fiber is gently moistened and allowed to recover naturally.
  • Inherently Fire Safe. Naturally flame retardant, Karastan wools are difficult to ignite, do not melt, and are self-extinguishable.
  • Resistant to Static. Karastan wools do not suffer from static electricity build-up.
  • Comfortable. Inherent bulk and resilience gives Karastan wools superior sound and heat insulating properties.
  • Environmentally Friendly. Karastan practices environmentally responsible, energy efficient, and safe manufacturing procedures that pair well with the natural beauty and sustainability of New Zealand wool.





The Wools of New Zealand Brand

 

You may have seen the Wools of New Zealand brand when shopping for carpets and rugs. This brand signifies that a carpet is made primarily of New Zealand wool and that it has passed numerous quality and performance tests. It is a symbol of excellence that means even more when paired with the Karastan brand.

The truth is, not all wool carpets and rugs are created equal. As wonderful as wool is, it is just the beginning of the carpet making process. The difference lies in the manufacturing. Most companies use commissioned spinners, dyers, and even tufters, to help create their products. Not Karastan. We are the only company in the U. S. to control every step of the manufacturing process so you can feel confident in your flooring purchase.

Karastan chooses to use New Zealand wool over other wool types because it offers superior advantages:

  • New Zealand wool is the purest, whitest wool in the world, offering excellent dyeing characteristics that create long-lasting colors.
  • New Zealand wool is raised with little impact on the natural landscape. It is a renewable and biodegradable fiber that is one of the world’s most environmentally friendly products.
  • New Zealand wool is produced on land mostly unsuitable for other agricultural purposes and does not compete with food production.
  • No internationally banned pesticides are used on New Zealand farms, making New Zealand’s sheep industry one of the world’s greenest animal production systems.
  • The Wools of New Zealand brand is your guarantee of the highest quality New Zealand wool. It is the indication that New Zealand wool is a superb natural product derived in an environmentally responsible way through sustainable land use.
