There Are Many Kinds of Carpet
There is more than one sort of carpet available to a potential purchaser today. You can choose a woven carpet, a needlefelt carpet, a knotted carpet, a tufted carpet or one made in a number of different ways using a variety of methods. A woven carpet is produced on a loom, in the same way as a woven cloth. The pile can be either plush or berber. A plush carpet is a cut pile and a berber carpet is a loop pile. Recently a new style of carpet has emerged that combines these two styles and it is called cut and loop carpeting. In general, many coloured yarns are used and this specific process can produce intricate patterns based on pre-determined designs. Certain weaving methods do however have some limitations when it comes to accuracy of the pattern in the carpet. Woven carpets are generally the most expensive since they take such a long time to manufacture.
