The top layer of the carpet is called the pile. It composed of millions of yarn segments.

A carpet pile can be described in various ways:

· The pile fibers, for example 100% wool, 100% nylon, 100% polyester etc

· Method of manufacture : (a) woven – Axminster, Wilton, hand-knotted etc; (b) tufted

· The general pile construction: loop pile or cut-pile, and combinations of these two types

· Pile texture: for example, frieze, plush and velvet (cut pile types which differ in their levels of tuft definition)

· Pile colour and colour variation (design): plain shade, berber/heather or patterned

· Pile construction: tuft or loop spacings along and across the carpet, pile mass density, pile height and pile thickness

· Carpets suitable for good performance in heavy, medium and light foot traffic situations.
