Wools of New Zealand logo

100% NZ Wool - Natural Home Grown Fibre

Wools of New Zealand fibre is grown in perfect conditions with care taken to preserve our natural environment.

Wool carpet appearance retention icon

Superior Appearance Retention - Made to Last

New Zealand wool keeps textiles looking better for longer due to its built-in stain protection and naturally resilient crimp, allowing it to bounce back to its original shape.

Wool keeps your home warm icon

Wool Carpet Keeps You Warm

Wool not only helps us keep warm and comfortable in winter, it contributes to energy savings as less heating or cooling in summer is required to maintain a comfortable indoor environment all year round.

Wool feels soft underfoot icon

Wool Just Feels Awesome

Wool carpets are squishy and soft. The natural coil built into wool acts like a spring, absorbing impacts and making your feet feel wonderful.

Wool reduces noise icon

Beautifully Quiet Underfoot

Wool is an excellent sound absorber and can reduce noise by up to 55%, creating a more relaxing environment.

Due to the millions of wool fibres in textiles such as carpets, curtains and cushions, wool is one of the most effective materials for controlling noise indoors.

Wool improves air quality icon

Breathe Easy

Wool carpets filter the air in your home and trap particles from the breathing zone.

Wool helps to regulate humidity by naturally absorbing and releasing moisture.

Wool carpets are asthma and allergy friendly.

Easy clean wool carpet icon

Easy Clean Wool Carpet

Wool is naturally soil resistant which means it releases soil up to 25% more readily than synthetic fibres. The finely waxed surface also helps keep dirt in the upper layer of the pile, where it is easily removed by vacuuming.

Fire safe wool carpets icon

Fire Safe

With wool there is less chance of ignition, less likelihood of flames spreading and less smoke, which makes wool one of the safest materials for any living environment.

Wool is sustainable and circular icon

Truly Sustainable

Wool is a natural and rapidly renewable material. Our sheep grow a new fleece every year, creating wool from nothing but grass.
