Highland wool: robust, warm and natural

 

Highland wool is one of the most popular carpet materials and is gained from the wool of sheep that live in higher regions. The special climatic conditions ensure dense, soft and at the same time durable fiber.

Advantages of highland wool:

  • Robustness: Wool is extremely resistant and is ideal for heavily frequented areas such as living room or corridors.
  • Natural dirt protection: Thanks to the wool fat contained (lanolin), wool rejects dirt and liquids.
  • Heat -insulating: a woolen car stores warmth and thus ensures a comfortable feeling of space.
  • Dusting noise: The dense structure absorbs noise and creates a calm atmosphere.

Manufacturing process:

The highland wool used at Mischioff comes from controlled, sustainable sheep farming . The wool is shorn by hand, cleaned and processed into yarn. This process ensures that the fibers preserve their natural properties .

Suitable for whom?

If you are looking for an easy -to -easy, durable and natural carpet that comfort and warmth , highland wool is the ideal choice. We would be happy to advise you on size, color and design.
