How carpet is made
The tufted carpet making process has changed little over
time. What has changed is the complexity of the designs
and construction of carpet. While computer-controlled
tufters and precision measuring devices ensure production
quality remains high and operate efficiently, there is
still a strong element of craft in making carpet.
Carpet is made of four key ingredients - the
wool which is tufted onto a primary
polypropylene backing using what is essentially a giant
sewing machine. These two elements are then bonded to the
backing material using a low VOC
latex.
In the attached three sections we outline how Cavalier Bremworth
takes the raw wool from New Zealand farmers and turns into a
quality, beautiful wool carpet ready to be installed in your
home.
In taking the fleece to your floor there are three key
steps:
Step One: Processing the Wool
Step Two: Wool into Yarn
Step Three: Yarn into Carpet
