Cut loop carpets in reed 500 d/m with 8 colours are presented on the Van de Wiele booth. These carpets are woven on the Universal Cut-loop Innovator UCi03, a three rapier carpet weaving machine. The UCi03 is the most versatile carpet weaving machine and the only machine in the market that weaves any combination of cut pile, loop pile and flat weave in face-to-face weaving.

Carpet and velvet Innovations Van de Wiele presents a new carpet quality in reed 500 dents/m, 16 colour frames, being the most colourfull machine-made carpets available on the market (fig 2). The carpet is made on the Handlook Carpet Innovator HCi X2, a three rapier weaving machine, producing 50% more than double rapier machines.

All pile tufts are woven through the back, giving a perfect pile fixation and a clear backside. Samples of this innovation and other handlook qualities from reed 240 d/m up to reed 1000 d/m are displayed at the Van de Wiele booth.
