Carpet yarn is a textile floor covering material that offers softness, durability and luxury. It also provides a clean and comfortable feel under foot.Synthetic yarns are typically sourced in staple fiber form or bulk continuous filament (BCF) form and then twisted together to produce thick twoply yarn suitable for tufting.Wool is the classic carpet fiber that holds some distinct qualities that make it a favorite for luxury homes and businesses alike. It’s a natural, comfortable and durable fibre that provides great value and can last for decades, even when used with heavy foot traffic.The wool used for carpet production must be of high quality if you want to get all the benefits from this material. This means paying close attention to the spinning and setting of the wool. The length of the fibres and how many times they are spun per yard or meter are both important for ensuring the ultimate strength of the wool.

As with any other type of fiber, the quality of the wool will have a direct impact on its durability and performance. Sheep breeds from all over the world produce different kinds of wool, with British and New Zealand Merino being some of the best.Tencel is a cellulose based carpet yarn that absorbs and breathes just like natural fibers such as silk, bamboo or mercerized cotton. It is soft, silky and extremely strong.It has excellent hygroscopicity, comfort, drape and stiffness along with great dyeability. In addition it is biodegradable and recyclable.Developed by the Austrian company Lenzing, Tencel offers similar material properties to viscose while being ecologically produced in a closed loop. Its smooth fiber cross section also provides no habitat for bacteria and mites.

As a result, Tencel is the greenest plant fiber among carpet yarns and a healthier choice for consumers suffering from allergies. It also regulates room air humidity and is more resistant to mold than cotton or wool.Olefin carpet yarn is made from polypropylene plastic pellets that are melted down and forced through a device called a spinneret. The resulting strands are quickly cooled to solidify and then woven into carpet fabric.Compared to other synthetic fibers, olefin offers unique qualities, including its appearance, durability and stain and soil resistance. This makes it a good choice for indoor/outdoor rooms, kitchens, children’s bedrooms & playrooms, and basements.Stain Resistant: Due to its ability to repel water, olefin carpet is extremely stain resistant, even without any treatment. This makes it a great choice for high traffic areas that see frequent spills or liquids.Soil Resistant: Since olefin doesn’t absorb liquid, it has no open dye sites where dirt and other materials can get caught.

This means that most dirt and spills can be easily blotted up with towels or sucked up by a vacuum cleaner before they have a chance to stain the carpet.Because olefin doesn’t retain moisture, it is also highly resistant to mold and mildew. This is particularly important in damp areas like basements and entryways where people track water into the house.Polyester is one of the most popular carpet yarns. It is often used to make luxury carpets that are softer than nylon and olefin carpets.Polyester fiber is also known for its stain-resistant properties and can be recycled to help reduce the impact on the environment. This makes it a great option for families with pets and children who play and spill liquids regularly.Stain resistance is a big consideration when purchasing a new carpet. Polyester carpets resist spills better than nylon carpets, so it’s a good choice for homes with kids and pets.Polyester is commonly used in soft loop or Berber loop products, and comes in a large variety of colors. It is also crush-resistant and resistant to fading.
