Tapijtweefgetouwen
Tapijtweefgetouwen, which translates to "carpet looms" in Dutch, are the specialized weaving devices used in the production of carpets. These looms are designed to handle the complex process of creating dense, textured fabrics that form the basis of many floor coverings.

The fundamental principle involves interlacing warp threads with weft threads, but the construction of a carpet loom incorporates specific features to accommodate the cut or looped pile that characterizes most carpets.
The warp threads run lengthwise on the loom, and these are the foundation upon which the carpet
