Page 1 of 1, a sample page, at reduced quality. Open the document to read it in full.
A short dictionary entry describing how Turkey carpet is made, with a linen warp and weft and tufts of worsted tied in during weaving. It compares the upright hand loom of Eastern countries, where tufts are tied around pairs of warp threads, with the European Turkey-carpet loom. It covers the sequence of tuft rows and weft shots, beating down, the narrow breadths joined to form large carpets, and shearing of the pile.
