When it comes to decorating the home with various soft furnishings including curtains, wall hangings and furniture, Alpaca wool rugs are the best. Also placed at the foot of the bed as a decorative item, these rugs can add a touch of warmth in your room.

These rugs are made of soft fleece of an animal found in Peru by the name of Alpaca. Owing to this, you will find that many of the Alpaca rugs have a traditional touch of Peru. The best thing about these rugs is that they naturally blend with various home furnishings items as they are made of 100 % natural products.

You will find many types of Alpaca rugs available in the market. Some of the common types are Contemporary, Braided, Oriental and Persian. These are also available in a range of sizes depending on the area of the room.

There is a common perception that area rugs are not needed if one has carpeting in his house. However, there is a need to rethink as these rugs can easily cover stained and worn out areas in the carpet of your house.

Not every rug that you find in the market will be genuine. There are many companies, who make and sell fake rugs. Therefore, be cautious while selecting and buying the rug. See their texture thoroughly and check whether it is fluffy and soft or not. If the color is too vibrant then the wool rugs might not be genuine. So check the rugs stringently before you buy them.

Once bought, it is important to keep the area rugs clean if you want to maintain the aestheticism of your home decor. You can brush the rugs once in a while using baby powder or corn starch. Both these items can dry clean the alpaca rugs fairly easily. In addition, the wool in these rugs has an oily substance, which works as a natural protective barrier against stains.

So keep all these things in the mind and enjoy the comfort of Alpaca wool rugs.

Alpaca rugs are produced in South America mostly in the low mountain areas of the peruvian and bolivian andes. Alpaca wool yarn is also spun from the natural wool fibre, and it has its colours combined to produce modern yet andean looking yarn.
