Maintains pattern and colour definition
Wool has long-lasting appearance — appearance retention is a key attribute of wool so that it will look beautiful for many years .
Wool has natural bounce-back — on the floor , wool has the ability to resist flattening and in a garment it will resist creases . This is due to its natural spring-like character .

Maintains pattern and colour definition

Wool is known to dye well and hold colour well ; this will be important for the patterned rug , carpet or cloth . Equally , the strength of the quality yarn combined with good manufacturing can prevent any distortion of pattern to ensure that the design is maintained over the years and will withstand wear and pile crushing in often extreme use . �
Did You Know …? Wool carpets and rugs have been made for centuries , and many antique carpets remain in historic buildings in the United Kingdom . They continue to look just as good as they ever did , despite having been used for many years , before being set aside to admire .
