Lines, Bands, & Streaks Reports

Lines, Streaks, & Bands may run in the length or in the width of a carpet. They may be straight or bent, continuous or intermittent; have a pattern or not; and they may occur due to color or texture variations. If they are from a color and/or a hue, they may be lighter due to a color loss, or darker due to soil attracting substance. If they are from texture, they may start out that way and not change, or they may develop due to loss of twist in the yarn.
