tapis berbère

CONT: Berber (or high level loop) carpet creates a nubby texture with complete yarn loops that stand upright.
OBS: Variations may use both loop and cut pile for surface interest.
OBS: berber: A term that originally referred to the traditional handweaving of North African tribespeople who used handspun yarns made from undyed wool of local sheep. This homespun look has been developed on a commercial basis by carpet manufacturers using both natural and fashion color yarns.
