How to repair a Snagged Berber Carpet

When your Berber carpeting, or looped carpeting because it is sometimes called, is snagged, with one or more of the threads pulled out, then there’s no cause for panic. Since all the threads are interconnected, a snagged thread here or a snagged thread there does not signify the carpet is destroyed. The most damage which can be achieved is to snip the snagged end smooth and off the region over. But generally, the snagged thread can be saved and pulled back to position.

Insert a small screwdriver or the hint of a knitting needle through the loop of the snagged thread at the Berber rug. This keeps the loop from being pulled through the jute backing throughout the mend.

Find another thread at the carpet that is directly attached to the snagged thread. This thread may be difficult to find because it may be almost pulled through the jute backing and can be tight. Unbend a paper clip and add a conclusion beneath the loop of the thread. Pull on the paper clip and then notice that while you do so, the original snag gets smaller. Quit drawing on this thread when the original snag is slightly bigger than the loop you’re making in the thread.

Find the thread on the other side of the snag. Unbend a paper clip and then repeat the procedure. Insert the end of the paper clip beneath the loop and then pull it out. Pull the thread so that the snag goes back to its initial size.

Dab a little bit of super glue at the bottom of the fibers where they connect into the jute backing. This secures the snag in order that it can’t be pulled out again. Remove the screwdriver and the paper clips when done.
