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.
A method for weaving face-to-face carpets comprising forming figures in an upper fabric and a lower fabric by weaving in different pile warp threads alternately as non-working dead pile in the upper or the lower fabric, running the pile warp threads as figure-forming pile from the upper fabric to the lower fabric and from the lower fabric to the upper fabric, having plural transitions by changing a weft direction of a pile warp thread exiting the lower fabric as figure-forming pile and a pile warp thread exiting the upper fabric as figure-forming pile thereby weaving-in a double pile.
Carpet fabric consisting of a face-to-face carpet comprising an upper fabric and a lower fabric having figures formed of different pile warp threads, the pile warp threads being alternately woven-in as non-working dead pile in the upper or the lower fabric to protrude as figure-forming pile, and a double pile woven-in with color transitions from one pile warp thread protruding as the figure-forming pile to another pile warp thread protruding as the figure-forming pile.
