Wilton Repair

[Harry Myers]

Here is that rug I made it had a defect in it . Besides having black marks every 3 ft on the inside of the border. Expensive stuff and people dont care how it is handled.

Now my tool of choice was a little pick to pull on the loops to get it consistant.

Thanks Steve. That border was filthy Every 3 ft it had a black smudge mark so before I even deliver it . I have to clean it . Than repair it. Thats what happens when you buy Stark. Seems like most of there merchandice has problems. :shock:

Great stuff Harry.

I know stuff all about Wiltons, I've never seen a woven loop pile carpet before.

I'm assuming by your ability to pull them back, there is no latex at all?

Thanks Safeclean . John the wilton has dead yarn . This means it is riding underneath with the other material. Yes wilton does have a latex or sizing of sort. Some are drybacks with no latex at all. John look back in my last post and those 5 colors of yarn are in 1 row . That is alot of material in that. As far as looped woven material goes take a look at the velvet thread I will be starting.
