Frieze (textile)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the history of textiles frieze is a Middle English term for a coarse woolen cloth with a nap on one side, made from Frisian wool. Panni frisi, "Frisian cloths" apopear in medieval inventories and other documents.[1]
Today frieze is being applied to a textile technique used in modern machine-loomed carpeting. It is known for resilience, because of its high twist rate. This style outperforms standard cut or loop pile carpets.
