Abstract
A method for weaving face-to-face carpets consists of figures formed in an upper fabric and in a lower fabric. Different pile warp threads are woven-in alternately as non-working dead pile in the upper and lower fabrics to form figure-forming pile running from the upper fabric to the lower fabric and vice-versa. A double pile is woven-in with a transition in the weft direction from the figure-forming pile warp thread exiting the lower fabric to a figure-forming pile warp thread exiting the upper fabric. Carpet fabrics with face-to-face carpets separated into upper and lower fabrics is formed of different pile warp threads alternatively woven-in as non-working dead pile in the upper and lower fabrics which protrude as figure-forming pile. A color transition from one figure-forming pile warp thread to another figure-forming pile warp thread results in a woven-in double pile in the fabrics.
