Loose fiber fragments remaining from the manufacturing process that appear on a carpet surface. This condition is remedied by vacuuming and carpet use. Also known as "fuzzing" or "shedding".



Frieze

Tightly curled or twisted yarn that gives carpet a textured appearance good for hiding footprints. Pronounced free-zay.
