Woolen Carpets: A Cut Above the Rest

Woolen carpets are a popular choice for flooring and home decor due to their durability, warmth, and natural beauty. 

 Function of the Backing:

   * In tufted carpets, the backing provides structural integrity. The wool fibers are punched or "tufted" through a primary backing material.

   * Then, a secondary backing, often a cotton canvas or a similar material, is applied to secure the tufts in place.

   * This backing helps to prevent the tufts from pulling out, ensuring the carpet's durability.

 * Cotton Canvas as a Backing:

   * Cotton canvas is frequently used because it offers a sturdy and relatively flexible backing.

   * It provides a good surface for applying the adhesive that secures the tufts.

   * It can add to the overall stability of the carpet.

 * Variations:

   * It's important to note that the specific materials used for backing can vary depending on the manufacturer and the quality of the carpet.

   * Sometimes, other materials like synthetic fabrics or combinations of materials are used.

   * Also sometimes a latex coating is added to the back of tufted rugs, for added strength

   * The quality of the backing material can significantly impact the carpet's longevity
