Brussels Carpets

Brussels Carpets
BRUSSELS CARPETS
Uncut pile fabrics, in which the worsted yarn used forms part of the fabric itself as well as the figure, and is woven through the cloth from back to face. These carpets are known as three-frame, four-frame, five-frame, etc., carpets. Each frame has a capacity of 256 bobbins of one colour, so in a five-frame fabric there are five colours, and in each dent of the reed there are five pile threads and two ground threads. The five-frame Brussels thus means five colours are used for figuring. Round wires are used (up to nine per inch) to form the pile, and these are withdrawn from the side of the cloth. A low imitation is made from coarse linen and jute yarns, and called Brusselette.
