moquette
Textile woven in the same manner as velvet (with cut or uncut pile) from coarse wool and linen yarns, usually for upholstery or carpeting. By introducing rods during weaving, the thread is raised in loops.
Moquette was made from the Middle Ages onwards in many parts of Europe, notably the Low Countries. The term is now used to include Brussels and Wilton carpets.
