The three main carpeting constructions
?Pile? refers to how the rug yarns are attached to the backing, affecting textures. There are three main constructions.
Looped construction refers to uncut yarns. They are attached with a kind of needlepoint action.?
Then they are cut into yarns of various heights. Cut & loop combines the two and adds pattern and texture.??

Types of rug texture:
Yarns can also be twisted, or fibers can have various thicknesses. So, there's certainly no shortage of textures.??
- Frieze. This has fibers so tightly twisted they curl. The frieze is durable and often used for family rooms.?
- Plush: Fiber is closely packed in a Saxony version.
