Mixed Pile

Quick Answer:

See the detailed answer below.

Combining textures creates dimensional masterpieces:

Design Principles

  • Loop pile: Best for backgrounds, flat areas
  • Cut pile: Perfect for focal points, soft textures
  • Contrast: Maximum impact from height differences

Effective Combinations

Loop background, cut foreground

  • Creates natural depth
  • Highlights main subjects

Textural borders

  • Loop pile outlines around cut pile shapes
  • Defines areas clearly

Pattern mixing

  • Geometric loops with organic cut pile
  • Modern artistic effect

Technical Considerations

  • Plan pile heights carefully (loop typically shorter)
  • May need two guns or 2-in-1 model
  • Mark zones clearly on backing
  • Consider glue compatibility for both types

Inspirational Uses

  • Landscapes: loop for sky, cut for clouds
  • Portraits: loop for background, cut for hair
  • Abstract: alternate for rhythm and movement
