10. Two type of warp use
Two chain warp
One stuffer warp
11. Function of chain warp
• Interlacing of the chain warp and the weft creates the
basic structure of the backing.
(chain warp made of mainly PP , Nylon, PET )
12. Function of stuffer warp
To provide dimensional stability in warp direction
Lies straight between the weft shot in the finished carpet
Fills the space between the pairs of chain warps
(stuffer warp mainly made of jute, cotton, PP )
