Balwen Tartan

Balwen TartanAxminster Carpet originated in the town of Axminster, England in the 1700s. Axminster provides tremendous flexibility by offering up to 16 colors in a carpet. One end of yarn is tied to a spool for each tuft in the design. This allows for very intricate design work. As the loom is operated, one bracket at a time is lowered and the yarn strands are inserted into the carpet face. They are caught between the warp threads and bound tightly by the weft.

This allows for very intricate design work
