For those who want the appearance of a wooden floor, but the luxurious warmth of carpet under their bare feet, there has until now been no middle ground.

Deep Pile Distressed Durango, is a carpet that takes the form of a series of individual narrow strips, woven to resemble the wooden finish of your choice. A randomising weaving algorithm ensures that no two strips are the same, by creating the infinite variations of the whirls and knots which characterise natural wood.

       I thought woven & deep pile were mutually exclusive. Or an oxymoron. Or was that anachronistic? I forget. I guess what I mean is how can it look like wood when the carpet fibers are 2 inches long? Level-loop, I can understand, but deep pile? That's a shaggy story, xenzag.

       How can it look like wood? - well it's a bit technical, but each strand has colour variations on its shaft, so that if combed over in groups, the hue is revealed to a greater or lesser degree. The same technique could probably be used to create a wooden hair style.
