  • Combination frieze and saxony carpet
    Patent number: 3985089
    Abstract: The method herein is used to achieve the combination frieze and saxony visual with the use of one yarn. Conventional slub yarns are plied and twisted with a high twist. The large diameter portions of the yarn force additional twist into the small diameter portions causing them to be greatly twisted. The large diameter sections remain relatively straight. The yarn character is set, and then this is tufted into a carpet backing. This provides a combination frieze and saxony effect in the finished product.
