Sisal carpets

Sisal or sisal hemp is an agave Agave sisalana that yields a stiff fibre used in making rope. The term may refer either to the plant or the fibre, depending on context. Woven textile sisal carpets are used to evaluate tensile and fracture toughness properties. With some stains, it may be necessary to experiment on a very small area with water, carpet cleaner, or solvent to determine what will dissolve the substance.

Planting or harvesting of sisal can be done at any time of the year. Sisal fibre can be stored for over five years without affecting its quality. It has no post harvest losses.

Wool carpets

The complex cellular structure of wool carpets also enables it to absorb moisture vapour, but repel liquid. No synthetic fibre has been able to combine all of these characteristics. Notice that some breeds have a very large range of fleece grades within the breed. This means two things: there can be a great difference individual to individual, and that genetically there can be more variables in fleece to work with. A very important wool variable is lustre. Some wools are dull, some glow like silk, and some shine like mohair. Mohair is not a wool but a hair from Angora goats. It is next sorted and this process separates it into lots according to fineness and length of fibre. Thanks to its natural, organic structure, wool operates as an automatic thermostat, protects the body from over-heating, and maintains warmth.

A single wool fibre can be bent back on itself more than 20,000 times without breaking compared to 3,000 times for cotton and 2,000 times for silk. Crimp: The structure of the fiber may be straight, wavy, or curly. The animals grew extremely fine carding wool with a very low clean weight of about 25 %. The thin skin was tight and without any folds. Therefore, the sheep were protected from the weather.
