Fibers Used- Although wool for many years was know as the top of the line fiber, today in with improvments in technology, synthetic yarns have become a number one choice for many reasons. Most commonly Olefin which is also know Polypropylene, is stain resistant, anti-bacterial, flame resistant, color fast, anti-static to just name a few positive traits. Wool is great fiber, but is best for hand knotted, and tuften constructions.
Qualities: Quality of machine woven rugs is most commonly based on the points per square meter (ppsm). The higher the number generally the better the quality. Today's mid range carpets range from 200-500 ppsm, and higher end rugs are in the million points weaves. Can't always go by the number because there are other factors such as the yarn quality that make a difference.
