The individual yarns in a frieze are twisted even more tightly than those in saxonies. Frieze carpets have tufts which are so tightly twisted they curl back on themselves in random directions.

Instead of standing close to form a smooth surface, each tuft becomes an individual. This creates a nubby or "pebbled" look. Rich colors look especially great in the highlights and shadows of this carpet's surface.

Highly resilient, it's truly trackless, easy to clean, and crush resistant which is ideal if you're looking to minimize the appearance of footprints and vacuum cleaner marks. They are also the most rugged of the cut piles which make them perfect for high traffic areas.
