Axminster Carpet

Axminster carpet is woven, and in its production, the tufts are inserted during the weaving of the backing. This style of carpet generally consists of jute wefts, and warps made of jute, cotton or synthetic materials. Each tuft is U-shaped and held in place by the weft, giving Axminster its characteristic velvety surface.

Although it is possible to produce them in plain colours, Axminster carpets are usually always patterned, with the intricacy of design depending on the type of loom used.
