The Kindest Cut

"A cut-pile carpet consists of an array of individual yarns with sheared ends.  Different textures are created by applying different amounts of twist to the yarn, varying the yarn's size and luster, and applying different heat settings.  For instance, velvets and plushes owe their smooth, elegant appearance to a very little twist.  Because the evenly-cut yarn tips are densely packed, the carpet shows a smooth, lush surface.  Vacuuming and boosters will, however, show some shading as fibers are pushed in various directions.  Saxony carpets (or saxony plush) are less dense than plushes.  However, they gain durability by heat setting a tighter twist into each yarn.  They also show a slight surface texture, owing to distinguishable yarn tips.  Lastly, frieze (twist) carpets have tightly-twisted yarns that do not show footprints." -On Interior Design
