Brussels Carpet
Page 1 of 1, a sample page, at reduced quality. Open the document to read it in full.
An encyclopedia entry from Knight's American Mechanical Dictionary describing how Brussels carpet is made. It explains the linen warp and weft with worsted pile yarns raised in loops over wires, and the multi-frame bobbin loom with mails, cords and lashes pulled by a drawer. It also covers Wilton (cut pile) carpet, the wire count used to grade quality, and the jacquard attachment that replaced the lash system. Two figures show the carpet structure and the loom.
