Thus creating a somewhat fuzzy tufted surface unlike loop carpets that are smoother and sleeker in appearance and feel.

Cut pile carpet is a form of carpet pile that involves a strategic cut of the loops that are created during the weaving process.
Cut pile carpet is created when the fiber loops are cut.
When all of the tufted loops are are cut the result is a texture often also called a cut pile or plush.
When these loops are tufted and left uncut they are loop carpets.
Regardless of the length of the cut fibers it is the nature of any fiber to move bend or flatten.
It is less obvious in a cut pile carpet such as a saxony where all of the fibers are cut and move together and are supported by neighboring fibers in a cut and loop there is a gap in the cut fibers where the loops exist so it is much more obvious when the cut fibers lean.
A cut pile carpet is a carpet where the fiber has first been attached to the backing in a loop and then cut.
The loops are cut to the same height and allowed to tuft slightly.
Cut pile carpet is available in various lengths and thicknesses and is typically much softer than loop pile carpets.
The manufacturing of carpet which can be described as sewing strands of yarn into a backing material creates thousands of yarn loops.
