How exciting...What carpet source did you use for the Haargarn ? Lee

"1-A "
BLACK WILTON I CARPET
I will reply with other pictures, dimensions, curvature, and modifications I have made to improve the fitment of the hurriedly cut original carpeting as I progress.
The basic premise is that my upholstery guy (very popular) said NOT to copy the originals. Instead, I have been instructed to cut every piece oversize, and then trim to fit. Then I bring it to them for binding around the edges.

Good on your carpet guy, the original fit is not optimal. best
Any pics or info on the final results?

JMM3, I'm curious also--how close was the Wilton 1-A carpet to the original? I've resigned myself to re-replacing mine...Hirsch reports that Covid has at least temporarily closed the mill that makes the Wilton 1-A, and my good news is that the only hurry I am is to know if its worth waiting for (!) Otherwise, it seems that most suppliers have a "321" Haargarn (just a little salty) but another called "Charcoal"...I've realized that calling the carpet "black" is just not right (!) Lee
