A short article on creating patterns in woven velvet (cut-pile) rugs on a four-shaft loom. It explains warp-stripe patterning for cushions and two-block patterning using separate pile warps, with profile drafts, calculations of warp lengths, and threading and tie-up. It ends with a practical project for a 40 by 64 inch wool pile rug, including warp colour sequences and weaving order.
