Abstract
Abstract A patterned, multi-colored carpet is achieved by space dyeing a polyester of a polypropylene yarn, tufting the spaced dyed yarn and an undyed yarn having a susceptibility to a dye to which the polyester or polypropylene yarn is not susceptible in alternating rows by a high/low technique to form a carpet having a high/low design thereon, and thereafter dyeing the undyed yarn. This invention relates to a method of making a multicolored patterned carpet and more particularly a multi-colored patterned tufted carpet.
