TEXTURE:
TWIST PILE
One of the most popular styles, it comes in wool and man made fibres. Variously described as "Hardtwist",
"Hightwist" or "Frise" the yarn has been given an extra turn or two and this results in a rougher surface
texture which is less prone to showing footmarks.
VELVET
Sometimes called Velour. A close construction with a short pile and smooth top. Available mainly in tufted
and Wilton constructions and in wool or synthetic fibres.
SHAG PILE
Today shag piles are designed for luxury and decorative use. In the main they come in heavy weights and would
look superb in your penthouse.
SAXONY
A shorter pile length than shag pile, the tufts tend to be closer together. Saxony styles are available in
several different fibres.
LOOP PILE
Mainly available in natural and "Berber" colourways.
