cut and loop  

Cut and Loop, sometimes referred to as pattern loop, utilizes a combination of cut and loop pile yarns to create patterns or textures. Cut and loops may offer a pile surface that is predominantly cut with loops forming a pattern or predominately loops with limited cut yarns to display a pattern. This style offers both level and multi-level constructions. The multicolor effects hide soil, stains, and foot traffic. This style fits a variety of room settings.
