Powerpoint 1
ways to create carpets:
- hand knotted
the oldest way to make carpets is by hand, knot by knot
- tufting
55,6 % carpets in Europe are tufted
90% of carpets in America are tufted
with tufting you create a loop, if you want a pile you cut the loop, you
need backing for a tufted material
the build up of a tufted carpet:
primary backing: the ground fabric,
the secondary fabric is laminated onto the
ground fabric using a bonding agent (glue)
1
,- needle felt
a kind of non woven carpet (like carpets in school), they have a backing
and are easy to print on. Hot needles press down loose fibers.
Cheap and strong, easy to print. Not nice to walk barefooted on.
- woven carpets:
1. wilton (woven) carpets
3-thread system
← rod weaving, first weave it
then cut it. The rod makes
loops, pulls back and cuts. the
twist in fabric makes piles
stand up. (tension and
pressure)
2. double woven carpets
2
, you can add backing (glued or heat)
after the weaving process to make it
sturdier → laminating. Double woven
carpet is a warp pile fabric
3. Axminster carpets (not in exam?)
- kind of the opposite of tufting
- pulls yarn out instead of pushing the yarn in
3
, yarn selection
cross-section, you see the piles, binder
warps, double weft insertion
in carpets you have piles and loops. Piles
are common in more fabrics than carpets
→ velvet/velour, towels, hairy stuffed
animals, etc. Loops are used in for instance towels.
fading = temporary change in fabric, like with velvet when you move hand
over it, you want this, characteristic of fabric
shading = not recoverable, change in material, for instance when you put
your chair on it, humidity affects carpets.
