WELTS, WOVEN
Both the terms pique and toilet welt are used to describe a distinctive class of fabric -which is produced in plain and in figured styles. The distinctive feature of a pique or welt consists in well-defined rounded ribs running across the cloth from selvedge to selvedge, e.g., contrary to Bedford cords in which the ribs run down the cloth parallel with the selvedges. Pique welts require two warps and two or more wefts. The warp ends are arranged 2 face 1 back, and the latter are coarser than the face and are woven with greater tension, as they interweave with the cutting picks to form the troughs between the ribs. Sometimes wadding picks are inserted between the back and the face warps to throw the ribs into greater prominence.
