Ingrain Carpets

Ingrain Carpets
INGRAIN CARPETS
These are usually 36-in. wide and made from two- or three-fold yarns. This class is the oldest form of machine-made carpet now woven. They are two-ply fabrics, and the pattern is formed by one cloth passing through the other - The two cloths being of different colours. Woven on jacquard looms which have drop shuttle boxes for as many as six colours. They are very expensive, but very enduring, and either side can be used. Scottish or Kidderminster carpets come under this term.
