On the downside, cut pile makes it easier to see footmarks and vacuum trails. This tendency can be reduced by the twist of the fibers. The individual fibers contain a twist that helps the carpet stand up against matting and crushing. The heavier the twist, the more resistant the carpet will be to matting. Heavy twist also helps create texture that hides wear and dirt. Sprouts are sometimes seen as a series of loops being pulled out. In this situation it may be but is not necessarily a manufacturing defect. Often a single sprout that was not clipped may have been pulled by the vacuum or even from normal traffic conditions.

For larger patches, you will need to remove the entire affected area. The easiest way to do this neatly is to lift your carpet from the edges and using fabric scissors or a utility knife, cut out the damaged patch of carpet. Lifting the carpet helps to prevent you from cutting into your underlay or potentially damaging your subfloor. Torn carpet can happen under several different circumstances – it may be you dropped something sharp, or it could be you’ve tried to move furniture without lifting it, which has resulted in a rip in your carpet. Some small tears are easy to fix, whereas large rips can take much longer. You may decide the rip is too big to repair without it being noticeable, in which case you decide to replace the carpet. But for small to medium tears, here’s how to fix them. After a few months of diligent vacuuming and proper care, the shedding did start to diminish, which was a relief.

When should I seek professional help for carpet repairs? While carpet fuzzing is a characteristic of some carpets, fuzzing may indicate a concern such as a fiber spinning or a heat setting concern. Or, inadequate saturation on the yarn bundle with a latex or other binder. Even a maintenance concern such as poor maintenance, embedded dirt and grit. Or, the use of a vacuum cleaner that’s brushes are too stiff or aggressive. Identifying Carpet Shedding and Fuzzing with Looped Pile CarpetYou should seek professional help for carpet repairs if you’re unsure about the severity of the damage or if you’re not confident in your ability to fix it yourself.

I was not "flaming you" I was pointing out that there is a hell of alot more to fittinga stair carpet than your post suggested. The OP has subsequently "added" winders into the equation - even more reason to get a pro in. Crazydaze also correctly pointed out that most stairs have a bullnose - more complications!

There is a another term in the carpet world called fuzzing, this is different from shedding. Fuzzing is when the carpet takes on a fuzzy or hairy appearance sort of similar to an uncombed beard. Fuzzing happens because fibers become loose from the yarn bundle. This can be caused by a number of things and is most frequently caused by: embedded dirt and grit sanding away at fibers, poor latex coating in the yarn bundle, or poor spinning of the yarn in manufacturing. When Should You be Concerned?

The winders are all seperate, the pile needs to lay over the nosings square, not following the angle of the wall stringers. Traditionally straights are fitted from the bottom up but most fitters will lay from the top down. Stripes are quite fashionable at the moment, and are useful for giving apparent length to narrow or short spaces. Again, the range of possible colours and widths is limitless. Novelty Fuzzing with fibers that do not release will also appear on loop pile continuous filament products. As with cut pile carpet this may be a manufacturing related concern. Or, a normal characteristic or maintenance issue such as rolling chair casters without chair mats,. Even improper maintenance, abuse or an improperly specified product for the use the carpet is experiencing. When a carpet is in need of a patch repair it may be quite a dilemma deciding whether to patch the damage by appointing a carpet repair specialist who is capable of performing an invisible repair, or to go down the time consuming expensive route and replace the carpet entirely. At seams it is not unusual to see tufts coming out or a row of loops pulled out. The most common cause of this is the failure of the installers to properly seal the edges of the carpet prior to seaming. Carpet edges are raw edges and especially with looped carpet the yarn will often pull and a long run referred to as zippering will occur. To prevent zippering proper edge sealing is mandatory unless otherwise stated by the carpet manufacturer. Carpet and Rug Institute – CRI Carpet Installation Standard 2011 states, (Note: CRI 104 and 105 for carpets installed prior to 2011 have similar standards.)

If you had your carpet for longer than a few months and are still vacuuming up a considerable amount of carpet fibers, it is a good idea to call the carpet manufacturer. The first step in fixing a pulled carpet thread is to assess the damage. Take a close look at the pulled area and determine if it’s a simple snag or if the carpet fibers have been completely pulled out. If it’s just a snag, you can easily fix it by reattaching the thread. However, if the fibers have been pulled out, you may need to consider using a carpet patch. From classic repeating fleur de lis to extravagant floral displays, from tartans to chequerboard, carpets come in a whole range of patterns. It’s all about choosing the one for your room. Some people like a well defined pattern as it can hide stains and blemishes – others dislike them for the same reason. Striped

Conclusion

The best way to repair a hole in your carpet is to follow the same steps we went through for burnt and melted carpet – replacing the damaged piece of carpet with new fibres or a new patch of fresh carpet using adhesive and combing it out to blend it in with the rest of your flooring. You may notice that your new carpet patch is a slightly lighter colour than the rest of your carpet, but this will fade over time. Professional carpet repair
