Both plain, or single-frame Wilton and Jacquard, or multi-frame Wilton come from the traditional "Warp and Weft" weaving process.
Wilton can be woven with cut pile, loop-pile, or cut and loop pile. Pile heights can be varied within a single carpet to created a "structural" or carved effect. Face-to-face Wilton carpets is made on a different type of loom, which particularly favoured for the manufacture of area rugs, but loop-pile or cur and loop are not possible with last type of wilton loom.
All Wilton carpets may be woven using different fibres - among them 100% wool, 80% wool/20% nylon, or synthetic according to expected quality and specified use.
