Jacaranda’s carpets and rugs are woven
exclusively from bio-based fibres
Wool
We believe that wool makes great carpets and rugs. We offer a variety of wool textures from smooth velvets, to chunky bouclés, and practical, contract rated textures.
Benefits of wool:
- Sheep grow new fleeces every year so wool is natural, renewable & biodegradable
- Provides a beautiful palette of dye-free colours
- Creates soft and springy carpets and rugs
- Naturally fire resistant
- Strong insulating properties that offer warmth and soften acoustics
- Wool yarn retains some natural lanolin, aiding stain resistance and making it easy to clean
- Hard-wearing, suitable for contract locations
TENCEL™
TENCEL™ fibres are incredibly tactile and soft, creating carpets and rugs with a silk-like texture that beautifully reflects the light.
What is TENCEL™
TENCEL™ is a branded lyocell fibre produced by Austrian company, Lenzing AG, made from wood pulp sourced exclusively from sustainably grown forests. Lenzing AG have won the “European Award for the Environment” for their ground-breaking TENCEL™ production method where over 99% of chemicals are used repeatedly in a closed loop system resulting in very low emissions.
Benefits of TENCEL™
- TENCEL™ fibres are soft strong, sustainable, and biodegradable
- Efficient moisture absorption properties mean TENCEL™ fibres harbour fewer bacteria for a healthier living environment
- All TENCEL™ ranges can be colour matched to fabric, paint, Pantone or pom
- Low tog ratings compatible with underfloor heating
- More resilient and easier to clean than other cellulosic fibres such as viscose
Silk
The ultimate in luxury, silk has been used for thousands of years to make the finest fabrics and rugs. A natural fibre, real silk yarn is spun from the cocoons of silk moths. At Jacaranda, we blend shiny silk with soft Merino wool for our handwoven Mandalay Silk range. We often introduce real silk design elements into our bespoke hand-tufted rugs.
Benefits of silk:
- Striking shine
- Sumptuous and soft, yet sturdy too
- Can be wet cleaned using cold water extraction
- Wear tests show similar characteristics to wool
- Can be colour matched to any fabric, Pantone or pom
- Our Mandalay Merino silk blend is fire rated Bfl-S1
