Wool sector advocates are disappointed with housing agency Kainga Ora for saying no to pricey wool carpets.
A prior directive suggested Kainga Ora should choose wool over synthetic fibres for carpets, but the state landlord has chosen the latter as it's around 34% cheaper.

He says nylon and wool are often comparable in price, and is unsure where Kainga Ora got their numbers from.
