Low Line Research

LENGTHWISE LINES

• Lengthwise Lines Can Be Caused From

  Manufacturer’s defects from

1. Dye -
2. Defective yarn

• from size - Sometimes a foreign yarn  gets tufted into the wrong carpet. It may be of a different color, fiber type, or size.
• low lines - Sometimes a needle gets bent during the tufting process and creates a low line.

A low line in a cut pile tufted carpet can occur when yarns are pulled down too low to be sheared. Note the looped yarn in the picture below.
