  • Carpet a Carpet Is a Textile Floor Covering Consisting of an Upper
    ... Carpet A carpet is a textile floor covering consisting of an upper layer of "pile" attached to a backing. The pile is generally either made from wool or a man made fibre such aspolypropylene, nylon or polyester and usually consists of twisted tufts which are often heat- treated to maintain their structure. Etymology and usage The widespread popularity of carpets has inspired stories of the magic carpet, a legendary carpet that can be used to transport people who are on it instantaneously or quickly to their destination. The term carpet comes from Old French carpite, from Ol d Italian carpita, "carpire" meaning to pluck.[1][2] The term "carpet" is often used interchangeably with the term "rug". ... Some define a carpet as stretching from wall to wall.[3] Another definition treats rugs as of lower quality or of smaller size, with carpets quite often having finished ends. A third common definition is that a carpet is permanently fixed in place while a rug is simply laid out on the floor. Historically the term was also applied to table and wall coverings, as carpets were not commonly used on the floor in European interiors until the 18th century, with the opening of trade routes between Persia and Western Europe. Carpet types Swatches of carpet of tufted construction Drying carpets in a village factory (Ourika Valley, Morocco) Woven The carpet is produced on a loom quite similar to woven fabric. The pile can be plush or Berber. Plush carpet is a cut pile and Berber carpet is a loop pile. There are new styles of carpet combining the two styles called cut and loop carpeting.

  • Rug" by Being Fixed to the Floor Surface and Extending Wall to Wall
    Background Carpet is a textile floor covering that is distinguished from the more general t erm "rug" by being fixed to the floor surface and extending wall to wall. The ea rliest peoples covered the floors of their dwellings with animal skins, grass, o r, later, woven reed mats. When people learned how to spin cotton and wool, wove n mats of these materials largely replaced earlier coverings. Around 3000 B.C. E gyptians sewed brightly colored pieces of woolen cloth onto linen and placed it on their floors. The first carpets of note were woven by nomads. The thick carpets were easy to t ransport and were placed over the sand floor of tent dwellings. Early looms were similarly easy to transport. Two forked branches were joined by a crosspiece ho lding the suspended warp, and a wooden bar was used to flatten binding weft thre ads, while the loose warp ends formed the carpet's pile. The Pazyryk carpet has been documented as the earliest hand loom carpet, dating back from 500 B.C. and discovered in a tomb located in the Alti Mountains in Central Asia. From these early beginnings, carpet weaving rose to its highest art form in Turk ey, Iran, India, and China. Using cotton, linen, or hemp as the foundation, and wool or silk as the luxurious pile, weavers would make a knot out of the pile th read, then form a row of knots that was tightly beaten down. The process was tim e-consuming: some of the finest handmade carpets have as many as 2,400 knots per square inch (372 knots per sq cm).
