Wools

Natural Wool

The highest quality premium sheep's wool provides the utmost in durability and texture. Natural wool is a unique fiber that is naturally renewable and sustainable. It has the ability to insulate in colder temperatures and breath in warm. Fibers of natural wool can be bent and stretched and will still go back to it’s natural form, making it the most durable of materials. Shop for natural wool braided rugs.

Anti-bacterial
Biodegradable

Space-dyed Wool

Using 100% wool as a base for durability and wearability, yarn is then dyed in a selection of colors specific to Colonial Mills. The spacing of the dye creates an overall random pattern in the rug that is consistent in color. Suitable for all areas inside the home, space-dye wool adds color and character without sacrificing wearability. Rugs made of wool will last a lifetime.

Space-dyed Nylon

Dyed in increments using colors specified by Colonial Mills, this nylon yarn is typically mixed with other yarns to create texture and design. Nylon is a fiber that adds resistance to abrasion and makes for a durable option ideal for areas of high traffic.
