of loops is equal in both directions, while in others it differs tosome extent. Designing papers known as 8 x 8 to I inch and 8x7 to i inch are those mostfrequently used. Tapestry carpets are generally produced 27 inches wide; therefore the designwill have to be of equal width. That arrangement for the design may be selected known asthe half-over pattern, or one that has one complete repeat in one width; or a design may beproduced which repeats twice (or oftener if small figures are wanted) in one repeat of 27 inches inthe fabric. Lately a method of producing effects in tapestry carpets, classified as sheeny or varie-^gated, has been patented in this country, England and France, but is nothing more than a 187 method of arranging the design of the carpet so as to make use of more or less solid coloredpile-warp yarn, hence requires no printing for this amount of warp. In Fig. 835 such an effectis illustrated; a represents the solid colored threads, b represents the printed threads. Each
