What you need to know

Texture variations can occur from many different manufacturing-related including uneven shearing across the carpet width, variations in the tension of the yarn during tufting, differences in pile lay, improper machine set-up, mixed yarn types, twist variations, etc. Texture variations will typically show up across the seams where one side of the seam appears different than the opposite side.
