Twist, loop, saxony. The words on a carpet label mean very little until someone explains them ๐งถ
A twist has the yarn twisted tight so the pile stands upright. It hides footprints and vacuum lines, which is why it ends up in most busy houses.
A loop pile keeps the yarn looped rather than cut. It holds its shape brilliantly in doorways, though we would think twice if you have got a cat with a habit of scratching.
Saxony is the deep, soft, longer pile. Lovely in a bedroom. Put it down a hallway and you will be looking at footprints by teatime.
Best thing you can do is come and stand on all three. Pop into Lichfield and we will get the samples out.
