The social housing agency's back-tracking on a previous ban after using synthetic carpets for more than a decade. 

It will now allow wool carpet providers to tender for carpet and underlay contracts. 

Campaign for Wool general manager Kara Biggs told Andrew Dickens there's an opportunity to show Kainga Ora how wool can compete on price and value now.
