Now, by taking the pattern
out, you see how it got in.
The yarn was printed. The
pattern enlarged three-fold
was printed on the yarn it
self; and, when the yarn is
looped in the weaving, the
pattern appears Incredible
but true!
And now you see why the
pattern is sharp, exact, in
Brussels; and a little shady,
ineXact, in Tapestry. There
is no other difference in look
between the two.
The grades of Brussels:
"hve-frame," four-frame."
etc.-Not to go into difficult
reading, "fve-frame" means
that the bundles consist of
five yarns "four-frame "
means four yarns; and 50
on. The number of frames"
is the proportion of wool in
the carpet, its body, close
ness, weight and softness-
value and durability
" Five-frame " Brussels
proper has its bundles of
five wooden yarns, and these
yarns treble-ffteen yarns
in a bundle but nobody
makes it so. The nearest
approach to that standard is
found in the best makes.
There is "hve-frame Brus-
sells with under threads Of
jute in place Of wool a sort
of mongrel Brussels-and-
Tapestry. But we need not
go into all the authorizations.
We have set forth these
two staple carpet-fabrics as
fairly and fully as we can in
brief. You will buy the
safer if you have read with
care, especially after a little
carpet-dissecting. What we
have told is by no means all
there is to tell. 1t is enough
to sharpen your eyes and
guide your judgment; to
make you comparatively in
dependent of names and
phrases.
