WOOL IS QUIETER
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. The complex make-up enables it to absorb sounds over a wide range of frequencies making it a popular material in shared spaces such as offices, libraries, hotels, and homes.
HOW OUR WOOL CARPETS ARE MADE
It takes skill and great wool to make an awesome carpet. It all starts on our farms where most of the hard work is done by our sheep. It takes most a year for a sheep to produce a fleece. Sheep convert grass into wool as part of a natural carbon cycle, we humans borrow the wool during its life as a carpet.
This little video shows how we get from lush green grass to a carpet for your home.

Wool is made by sheep. Sheep eat grass (which traps C02) and turn it into wool, which contains 51% carbon, and then there are the trees...
