ALab.studio believes in the beauty of sustainability. Materials are carefully selected to protect the environment and production methods are designed to minimize resources and maximize product life. We work mainly with natural materials for our products and workshops, but also offer a more cost-effective acrylic yarn.
Pure new wool, especially that from New Zealand, is one of the highest quality types of wool used in carpet manufacturing. This wool comes from the first shearing of a sheep, which means that it is particularly soft and robust. New Zealand wool is characterized by its exceptional purity and uniform fibre length, which makes it ideal for luxurious carpets.
It offers a natural elasticity that ensures the rug retains its shape and remains resilient even under heavy use. In addition, virgin wool is naturally fire resistant and has excellent insulating properties that can both retain heat and dampen sound.
Acrylic yarn is a versatile and cost-effective material designed for vibrant, durable creations. Known for its softness and wide range of colors, acrylic yarn is resistant to fading, stains, and wear, making it an excellent choice for rugs that are both practical and stylish.
Lightweight and easy to maintain, it combines functionality with creative potential, offering endless opportunities to craft rugs that suit any décor or lifestyle.
Acrylic yarn is often used for wall pieces, because of its weight.
New Zealand wool and acrylic yarn each bring unique qualities to rug-making, catering to different needs and preferences. Wool offers a natural, eco-friendly option with unparalleled softness, warmth, and durability, making it ideal for premium, long-lasting rugs. In contrast, acrylic yarn provides a more budget-friendly alternative with vibrant color options and high resistance to fading and stains, perfect for everyday practicality.
Whether you prioritize luxury and sustainability or vibrant design and affordability, both materials offer exceptional value for creating beautiful rugs tailored to your space.
