Key terms and phrases about rugs:
Washing: A chemical solution used after weaving to soften a rug’s colors and increase its luster. Sometimes referred to as herbal wash.
Weft: Yarns that are woven horizontally through the warps and form the face of the rug.
Wilton Loom: Automated looms popular for producing area rug designs. The wilton loom is capable of making intricate designs in a variety of weights and colorations at a fraction of the time it takes to weave handmade rugs.
Wool: Noted for luxury and softness, wool has a high build and is available in many colors. It’s natural ability to repel water and resistance to breaking and compressing makes it a popular fiber choice in rug production.
Worsted: Before wool is spun into yarn, it is combed then worsted so that only longer pieces of fiber are left for final spinning. This process yields a high quality wool yarn.
