Serged Wool Area Rugs

These top-quality Bio-Floor™ rugs and carpets from Earth Weave Carpet Mills are unlike any others produced in North America. First of all, they are completely biodegradable. Obviously, this is achieved by using only 100% natural raw materials. The face fiber is 100% natural wool.

There are no moth-proofing or stain protections applied. Only naturally pigmented wool fibers are used for coloration — as opposed to any of the harsh dyes and chemical bonding agents other carpet manufacturers use. Further differentiating this carpet, it's made with a natural "primary" of hemp and cotton. This is used instead of the typical synthetic polypropylene primary. The primary is the material that the tufting machine places the wool yarn into and acts to hold it in place.

Next in the process is the application of adhesive and secondary backing material. This further helps to lock the stitches in place and prevents slippage of the yarn. This is another area where unique techniques are applied. Earth Weave uses an adhesive that is 100% natural and bio-degradable — made of natural rubber from the rubber tree. The "secondary" (back of carpet) is made from jute, a hardy earth-friendly fiber-producing plant.

All of these elements add up to make a product that is beautiful to look at, yet sacrifices nothing in the way of our commitment to indoor air quality and the environment.
