Designs for Figured Pile Fabrics.

Designs for figured pile fabrics (terry or velvet), Plushes, Astrakhans, etc., are also executed without introducing a weave in the design. The design is only intended for the pile-threads, which are raised when introducing the wire; the front harness operating the ground-warp. The pile-warp, when raised over the wire, is bound by means of the previous pick, as well as by the pick following by the filling to the ground cloth.
