Show SDriahtlv Colors Dance on Spring Carpet Scene Whito Synthetic Yarns Dye Beautifully BY EDNA MILES wn-IETIILa you're living in a new-as-tomorrow dream " home or keeping house with hand-me-downs from somebody's attic, there's a carpet this season to suit you. "(--. V i 1 ' N jfx" ' ' This young woman attends to her household mending, lounging in comfort with feet outstretched upon a luxurious, deep-pile carpet of 100 per cent rayon. ii mi. .'MJ'iiu.".j.'.'. mmiwawjmf", u ' ; - New yarns and new weaves have made it possible possi-ble for carpet manufacturers manufactur-ers to offer an extensive variety va-riety of patterns and colors. Particularly important this spring are synthetic fibers, which are being used in 100 per cent nylon or rayon carpels, car-pels, in various combinations combina-tions with wool, or as plastic reinforcements. Since the synthetic yarns are pure-white like cotton and take dyes equally well, the same clear fresh colors are available in these carpets that homemakers have come to expect of cotton rugs. One interesting all-rayon carpet car-pet features a new weave of vari-length interlocking loops. This makes for a heavy, luxuriant luxuri-ant pile that offers eye-interest as well as foot-comfort. It is available in four color combinations combina-tions all of which are in the soft muted tones so popular this year. The textured effect which contributes con-tributes so much to the beauty of this carpet is one that is achieved in various ways in many new designs. Both weave and pattern are directed toward converting today's carpet from the flat, plain floor-covering it once was into a handsome room accent that beguiles the eye. Even florals have undergone a change. If you like flowers abloom on your floors all year long, you need not duplicate grandmother's parlor-rug in your living room. One design that fits particularly well with today's easy living scatters its blossoms around in "beds," thereby avoiding avoid-ing the monotony found in some repeat-pattern florals. This fresh design by noted American designer Edward Wormley adds a note of bright cheer to bedroom, dining room or wherever you wish to use it. Either modern or traditional furnishings take on a bright outlook out-look when complemented by the fresh floral pattern of this carpet. |
