In chronological order, we have included below our key stages of tufted carpet manufacture.
Process One - dyeing
Dyeing
Adam
Carpets purchase spun yarn which is then dyed in our own vats. The predominant
blend is 80% Wool / 20% Nylon although other blends are used in lesser
quantities.
Experience
shows that the characteristics of Wool give the best basis for a quality carpet
i.e. colour, texture, appearance and durability.
The picture below shows one of our dye vats which can dye up to 2000 kilos at a time.
The vat temperatures are computer controlled, as are the dye recipes, and the colours are matched via a "Spectrophotometer" to ensure that the colour is a true match to the set standard. However, Wool is a natural fibre and colour may vary slightly from batch to batch.
