Wool Area Rugs and the Weavers of England

Animals used to produce organic wool are nourished with only certified organic food, and the use of synthetic hormones, pesticides, and genetic engineering is strictly prohibited. In the continue development and production of the sheep species, the wool change from before compared to what is now. The goat that has been long used as one of the wool supplier animals could no longer be used not like the one who is like the sheep.

Romans are the one who has raised the sheep and the first to improve flocks, which became the progenitors of the famed Spanish Merino sheep. The Britons kept sheep and wove wool long before the Roman invasion, but the establishment by the Romans of a factory at Winchester probably improved their methods. Wool fabrics are found in the tombs in Egypt, Nineveh, and Babylon that will prove that early people had been long using the wool in their needs.

George Washington imported sheep and brought spinners and weavers from England. Early in the 19th century, now wool weaving is the number one source of business. The product made was terribly beautiful. Wool area rugs are one of the best things that wool product become the number one, compared the other kinds of rugs, modern wool rugs is the best in terms of its quality and in longest home use.

The protective covering or fleece of sheep or of other hairy mammals, such as goats and camels was made to clothing himself with sheepskins, eventually learned to make yarn and fabric from their fiber covering. Selective sheep breeding eliminated most of the long, coarse hairs forming a protective outer coat, leaving the insulating fleecy undercoat of soft, today we mostly seen wool in the floors for home decoration.
