Associated Weavers - iSense Collection. Associated Weavers have done it again. A product that is set to become one of the most memorable brands in the carpet world. Why? Because, quite simply, it has a remarkable memory. The unique ultra-soft polyamide yarn has been developed at the manufacturing plant in Belgium to bounce back to its original state after heavy things like table legs have been resting on it.
