Worcestershire, England, April 25, 2006--Concept Manufacturing has increased their 'Jacob by Design' natural carpet range with the blending of wool breeds to achieve different colors without adding dye.
'Jacob Velvet' manufactured from the wool of the horned Jacob sheep has been blended with the wool from the Shetland Moorit sheep to enable a beige to be created and broaden the design potential for the 98% natural undyed and chemical free, eco-friendly carpet.
A further three shades have been added to six existing colors in the 45 oz per sq. yard 'Jacob Velvet,' which won a commendation at the British Wool Marketing Board's International Quality Awards in 2004. The new shades are Moorit Beige, Beige/Black Sheep Marl and Cream/Beige/Marl.
Also, Concept will introduce 'City Slicker,' a pin stripe carpet to the 'Jacob by Design' range. This is a blend of velvet yarn and hard twist yarn, the velvet creating a light absorbing background and the twist reflecting light and giving subtle design definition. Available in four colors, Beige Velvet/Cream Twist Stripe, Cream Velvet/Pewter Twist Stripe, Black Sheep Velvet/Pewter Twist Stripe and a Cream-Black Sheep Marl Velvet/Black Sheep Twist Stripe. 'City Slicker' is manufactured in 42 oz per square yard.
"Our color bank is totally natural and therefore totally unique but this carpet appeals not only because of the eco aspects but also because it is very suited to the style and colors for contemporary living." Commented Alan Jones-Bratt, Director of Concept Manufacturing.
All of the 'Jacob by Design' Collection is produced in 100% new virgin British Wool on a jute hessian backing and is available in 4 meter width.
