What is the difference between Axminster and Wilton?

Axminster inserts each tuft of yarn individually, so it can carry any number of colors in a pattern; Wilton weaves the yarn continuously through the backing, which gives a dense, smooth face and suits plains and simpler patterns. Brintons weaves both on its own looms in Kidderminster.
