Wilton Carpet

Wilton carpets are woven using one long continuous thread that is carried through the backing between tufts. This adds to the strength and weight of the carpet, but also makes this type of carpet more expensive than other woven carpets, such as Axminster.

Wilton carpet is either plain or patterned with a limited range of colours. The number of colours is constrained by the weaving process, and Wilton designs will usually consist of no more than five colours.
