Yarn Twist

The yarn twist affects the look and durability of carpet. It refers to the number of times that a fiber strand is twisted together in a one inch length of carpet yarn.

Twist contributes to the “pebbly-type appearance” of frieze styling, which normally offers the highest twist level ranging from 5.0 to 7.5. Texture and saxony plush styling has less twist which accounts for the softer, casually-elegant look; and both range from 3 to 5.

A tighter (higher) yarn twist level provides “Enhanced Durability”. So choose the better within your preference of style.
