    Well, you sure are teaching us that not all carpets are created equal and great advice for making good dollar and cents choices that will last well, now that's a good investment!

    This is really good information about carpet. Well put-together. Thanks!

    Thanks! Wool fibre is now chaeper than nylon, so as well as being renewable it is also a cost effective fibre. However wool carpets tend to be in the luxury end of the market in high pile weights. So wool carpets would appear more expensive. Wool also uses 1/8th of the energy to produce than nylon does. More and more consumers are now looking for sustainable and renewable products so wool is making a come back.

    I do need to do an update on this lens! Thanks for pointing me in that direction again. I have always liked the wool floorcovering better as far as installation. Plus I'm a softy when it comes to renewable alternatives!

    Nice lens, I thought it was pretty insightful so I decided to give you 5 stars, hey, I have a page that's pretty similar to yours, maybe you can check it out when you have time: The Perfect Carpet

    I never knew there was so much to learn about carpet, and I'm not being sarcastic. This is absolutely insane. lol What a gem of a lens this is. Great job!

    Still no luck on the maskin trufting. Still working on it though and I have turned up enough info and suppliers for a new lens topic!

    I'm actually working on the maskin- tufted as opposed to hand-tufted, but I never sold rugs at my shop so I'm having to do some research... I'll have the answer soon though
