Cut and Loop Carpet

Also known as Shadow.

A combination of cut and looped yarns that create pattern effects by the variation in surface textures. Like looped styles, these carpets are low profile and thus perform well, although sometimes their seams are visible.

Cut and loop carpets may be used in casual and traditional rooms and are available in many patterns. Their distinctive carved appearance and multiple colours do a good job of hiding stains and standing up to traffic.
