Abstract

A method for weaving a pile fabric with areas having a corded structure, a backing fabric being woven on a weaving machine by inserting backing weft yarns during successive weft insertion cycles between binding and tension warp yarns, while pattern-weft yarns are inserted outside the backing fabric, and are covered by pile warp yarns forming cords. Successive series of different pattern-weft yarns are inserted into the pile fabric in areas having a corded structure and at least one pattern-weft yarn of each series is running essentially above the warp yarns in a first part of its trajectory and is forming the pattern, and is covered by pile warp yarns essentially forming cords in a second part of its trajectory, so that a predetermined pattern or design is formed. This enables the color palette and/or the effect palette to be modified across the width of the weaving machine with weft effects.
