Alarwool S.L. is a family business with over 60 years experience in the textile industry. Its origins date back to 1950 in Alar del Rey, a small town in the Spanish province of Palencia (ALAR-WOOL) where the main economic engine was agriculture and sheep farming. That was when Don Pedro Cubero bought the only local industry, a textile spinning facility that belonged to the Count of Mansilla and which employed most of the population in the area. Spinning at the heart of Tierra de Campos, where there were more than 1 million head of sheep, guaranteed the best raw material for its yarn.
More than 60 years after its founding, Alarwool S.L. is still a family owned and operated company, run by the same family that founded it and its principal activity is still the manufacture of custom woven wool rich carpets. At present it not only works with local raw materials but also selects the best wool form around the world to manufacture its carpets, which are installed in cruises, casinos and hotel chains worldwide, making Alarwool S.L. one of the world leading custom carpet manufacturing company.
Alarwool S.L. makes its carpets according to the most demanding design, color and quality specifications, working closely with some of the most important design and architectural firms around the world. For the company it has always been a priority to keep all the workforce in Spain, so now all carpets are manufactured at its production plant in Crevillente, Alicante. Furthermore, it is important to note that approximately 90% of its production goes to projects outside Spain.

The carpets woven on Axminster looms offer the greatest flexibility and freedom in design and colors of the market. Alarwool S.L. has the most modern machines in Spain for the manufacture of this type of carpets fully automated and network-connected to the Design Department.
Its manufacture is similar to that of any other textile fabric with weft and warp in wool, cotton and jute interweaving in the loom in a solid and efficient manner. In Alarwool we have looms in different widths up to 4 meters, allowing us to adapt to the requirements of each project, eliminating as much as possible the losses and minimizing installation costs.
The versatility of this type of fabric allows unlimited production of designs with a maximum of 12 colors which, thanks to creel effects, enables us to achieve up to 22 colors.
The density of passes and the countless possibilities in terms of designs and colors undoubtedly make the carpets woven in these machines those that offer the best quality in the market. That is the reason why this is the quality specified by major international hotel chains such as Starwood, Hilton, Marriott, Fairmont, Four Seasons, Millenium, Kimpton, Sangrila, Mandarin Oriental, Intercontinental, Carnival Cruisses, Red Carnation Cruisses…
Face to face
The carpets woven in face-to-face looms have a greater density in number of weft yarns and warp so they are very resistant besides having dimensional stability unmatched in the industry.
Like the Axminster, it is woven carpet. Its main difference from any other type of carpet lies in the double structure allowing the manufacture of two carpets simultaneously. Later, the fabric is cut in half by a blade so that two symmetrical or facing end parts are obtained. For this reason, these looms produce a carpet of high quality and durability with excellent value. They are also extremely fast and efficient, able to produce rolls up to 4 m wide.
Face-to-face looms allow the manufacture of very sharply defined designs with shaft densities reaching 35 X 80 passes in 10 cm. This allows us to work with much finer wool than those used in any other loom. The result is a carpet of excellent quality, with a density twice that of Wilton or Axminster looms and a definition of design that cannot be compared with any other carpet in the market.
For its many qualities this is an increasingly important product for Alarwool, currently approved for major hotel chains such as Hilton, Milennium, Kimpton Group, Starwood, NH Hotels, Sol Melia Hotels, Park Plaza Hotels, etc.
Wilton
The carpets woven on Wilton looms have a special feature compared to other fabric types as it offers the possibility of manufacturing the plush in cut pile and loop allowing the development of unique and elegant designs and textile figures.
Technically, on Wilton looms the wool threads run continuously through the backing of the tissue, appearing on the surface of the carpet when requested by the design; the weft and warp intertwine with the plush threads on the loom forming a fabric of great consistency and solidity.
Its main attractiveness lies in the possibility of developing designs even in a single color with different cut and loop combinations. The carpet is no longer a plain fabric, but it acquires texture and becomes three-dimensional contributing a great personality to the room.
Hand tufted carpets
The Alarwool carpet collection represents the best of tradition and craftsmanship. 100 % handmade, they are the perfect luxury complement for any top-quality hotel that prides itself. Each carpet made is unique in the world and priceless, so the production is strictly manufactured to order, and according to the meticulous instructions of our customers.
Made from pure wool of the highest quality, the possibilities are endless because there are no limits on size, number of colors and design. Among other things it is possible to mix different materials -such as viscose or silk-, perform cutting, loop, varying hair heights, carry out irregular or oval shapes, etc.
Inspiration
Our designers are constantly evolving according to market and customer needs. Always up-to-date with the latest trends in interior design, decoration and fashion, they go to any place in the world in order to work first-hand with the most prestigious firms of interior design and architecture in the design of their carpets and rugs.
At the same time our design catalogues, edited on a regular basis, are an important and valuable tool at the disposal of all our customers for their use as a source of inspiration and gathering of ideas.
The Far and mysterious East, the geometrical simplicity of nature, tatoos world…. Fresh and renewed concepts that are used as pillars for the development of distinguished, luxurious and contemporary atmospheres.
Hyatt Regency Nice: the design of the halls of Palais de la Mediterranée is inspired by the gentle sea waves that hit the French Riviera. The original image provided by the customer resembled designs made with the marbled paper technique. It was an organic image with many waves and soft natural shades that Alarwool designers worked on, together with Jaime Beriestain’s team, until the more contemporary and final design simpler path.
Windstar Cruises: The designs of the passenger cabins of all cruise ships in the Windstar fleet are inspired by the gentle waves drawn on the sand of the deserts and beaches by the wind. Even the color chosen for the carpets is a soft beige tone that brings brightness to the room.
Park Hyatt Hotel Vienna: The Park Hyatt Hotel in Vienna is located in an emblematic building owned by a bank. For its endless and elegant staircases, a very special design inspired by the ornamental artwork of an ancient book was made. This complex and delicate design was developed from the hand of the Dutch FG Stijl and it covers today’s impressive marble staircases of the hotel.
Sofitel Le Grand Ducal Hotel: The bar of the prestigious Le Grand Ducal hotel in Luxembourg was designed in 2014 by French architect Philippe Capron. The space is an incredibly contemporary explosion of color and modernity that does not go unnoticed to anyone. For the design of the carpet an image of famous “Google maps” itself was used; that is, a plan which corresponds to an area of the city itself.
