usually wool blends wouldn't be my first choice. Olefins can pack down. I don't know how they perform as its not a common fiber usage. If its a low traffic area I suppose its fine but in a traffic area I'd be a little cautious. Most HD carpets are Shaw,Mohawk or Beaulieu all are pvt labeled so comparing is useless.

I have a wool/olefin blend carpet that was bound into an area rug in my den. It is 10 years old and is just starting to show some wear on the heavy traffic areas. Other than that, it has held up very well to 3 boys, 2 dogs and hectic family life. It has been cleaned multiple times as well.

I would check with whoever you use to see if they will clean it if it is wool for the same price as nylon . . . some wont.

If you really want wool, you might want to think twice about an olefin blend. Wool carpets need a good construction and decent face weight to be good carpets. Also, there are different qualities of wool. Felted wool from New Zealand is better than most product coming out of India, for example. Makers blend olefin to add weight and keep the price down, but ole is the cheapest carpet fiber made, so you are giving up something to get that price. Olefin has neither the look, feel, or durability that wool is famous for. While there are many fine carpets that are 80% wool, 20% nylon, I've never seen a ole/wool blend that I'd put in my house.

Not sure what olefin/wool blends you have looked at Martin but I wanted a wool sisal look without a wool sisal price. I needed a large (15 by 19) bound carpet for my family room and wanted it cut out around the fireplace. This is what I have, purchased from the back room of a carpet place with roll remnants. It was very very affordable and I have had it for 10 years in a very high traffic area. It has held up well.

Hi there,

I realize this thread was started a number of years ago but I have also seen and am interested in finding out more about the Natural Harmony 50% wool/50% olefin carpeting sold through Home Depot. We are looking for a fairly flat weave berber carpet and, although there are a couple of other Natural Harmony lines that contain both higher percentages of New Zealand wool, and one blend that is 80% wool/20% nylon, the color blend that we like best is only available in the Terrain 50% wool/ 50% olefin line. I spoke with a representative from the manufacturer, which I was finally able to find, and she gave me some information, but didn't have a lot of insight as to customer satisfaction for this specific line of carpeting. It is New Zealand wool, and is green label plus certified. malpaflea, I am curious as to whether you purchased that carpet and, if so, how it has held up for you. Thank you so much!

Did you finally use the Natural Harmony carpet ? Looking at it for my parents - also, how did you locate the mfr ? I would love to contact them for info - if you can provide... thx !

Lisa, your recent post has me curious... did your parents buy it? Did you find out anything more? Mohawk makes the carpet. I cannot get any specific information on the Mohawk site, but I am going to keep digging. I, too, am interested in the Natural Harmony Terrain 50/50 wool/olefin blend. I absolutely love one color in particular (19817 Cobblestone), but... I am reluctant without reading any reviews. The information I found suggests: (1) the olefin is a “filler” that makes the carpet more affordable, and (2) you can expect wear to be proportional to the blend: 50% olefin = 50% not good carpet fiber, 50% wool = excellent durability. I see nothing about the care. Olefin can be cleaned yourself, but wool generally requires professional cleaners.

Hi Janna, did you end up going with the Natural Harmony carpet? I am curious about how soft the 50/50 wool/olefin blend is as I'd like to put it in a bedroom. Similar to you I found a Natural Harmony carpet online at Home Depot but can't seem to find any information about the line. It seems like Home Depot discontinued the Natural Harmony in my area.

I am interested in buying this carpet. Is there any reviews???

I'm also interested in this brand (Natural Harmony), but would love to hear more from people who actually have lived with it. The one I'm interested in is the 100% wool one, but there are only 3 reviews of it on the Home Depot web site:

Anyone out there with this carpet??

Me too! Asking the same questions as many on this thread I am looking at their Oceanic Tweed wool & nylon. Just want to know if there is a 'wool' odor. Hard to believe that for all these years so few reviews.

Hi Jana, are you certain the manufacturer is Mohawk? The reason I ask is because I went on their website and there are no wool carpets on their site.

I am interested in the Natural Harmony Bismarck from Home Depot and want to contact the manufacturer for more questions. Does anyone know who the manufacturer is?

I believe Home Depot’s Natural Harmony line is Nourtex by Nourison.

Some of the patterns are Hagaman.

Hilary Ridge Interiors is correct… Home Depot’s Natural Harmony line is manufactured by Nourison.

I am also interested in the Natural Harmony 51% wool/49% olefin and am surprised at the many negative comments on olefin. I had a rug made of 100% olefin and was very impressed with the durability and the fact that I could be cleaned with bleach. That was especially nice for a light colored rug. Of course I realize that will not be the case with the wool combination but regardless i don't think olefin would deter me. If it works for Sunbrella fabrics and resists fading, I think that will work well for me. Now just to find the best price

We purchased this carpet from Home Depot last May - 8 months ago - absolutely love everything about it except that its still shedding, filling the vacuum canister with fiber and dust every time its vacuumed. i keep a very tidy house and have it professionally cleaned. Any thoughts out there? Wondering if it my be defective
