Double Corduroy
Page 1 of 1, a sample page, at reduced quality. Open the document to read it in full.
A one-page article from the Swatch Page column introducing double corduroy, a cut weft pile technique for rugs that resembles rya but is woven faster because the pile is thrown selvedge to selvedge with no knots. It directs readers to Peter Collingwood's The Techniques of Rug Weaving (chapter 10) and suggests a sample warp in multiples of 20 at 4-6 epi in cotton or linen rug warp. It also covers yarn choice, color sequences, and the heavy weft consumption. Figures show a 4-shaft threading and tie-up and a diagram of raised warp groups of 5.
