What you need to know

This occurs during the tufting process when a yarn end comes out of the tufting needle. The longer the tufting machine runs with the yarn end out of the needle, the more difficult it will be to replace the missing yarn without the mend showing. Most mends are less than 12 inches in length and are normally oriented in the length direction of the carpet.
