In Kaymanta we provide you with both qualities, but what is the real difference between them?

Wool is the fiber of certain animals such as sheep or alpaca, obtained through a process called shearing, and is used in the textile industry as a raw material in the production of different pieces, such as rugs.

Wool rugs are especially comfortable thanks to the properties of their fibers that help regulate humidity, reduce noise and diminish heat loss from the room, creating a cozy, relaxing and comfortable environment.

The main difference between these two types of wool is the origin. Our virgin wool comes from India and our New Zealand wool from where its own name indicates.

New Zealand wool is the whitest, cleanest, purest and most natural wool in the world, guaranteeing great saturation and color continuity when dyed.

It is also a biodegradable and renewable resource produced using environmentally friendly methods.

As for virgin wool, it is pure, meaning that it is not mixed with any other synthetic or natural fiber, but it is not as filtered as New Zealand wool.
What does this indicate? That it has a much more uniform color finish and a more impeccable appearance than virgin wool.

So if you choose a rug in lighter shades, we recommend that you choose New Zealand wool!
