How to Repair a Snag in Berber Carpet

If a pet's claw or other sharp object has pulled a loop of yarn up out of your Berber carpet, you can repair it with a couple of simple tools and some patience. Berber consists of long strands of yarn woven in and out of the holes in a sheet of backing material. Repairing a snag is similar to working a loop of yarn back into a sweater.

[edit] StepsLook closely at the pulled loop of carpet. Identify where the yarn is woven into the backing material and where it comes out to form the next loop. You may need to pull on the snagged loop to identify where the yarn goes next.

Place one knitting needle, screwdriver, or other long, thin tool through the snagged loop of carpet. This will prevent you from pulling the loop all the way through the backing.

Using another knitting needle, screwdriver, or other long, thin tool, pull up the next loop in the carpet so that the snagged loop is pulled back down. This may take some force. Leave the original snagged loop just slightly larger than the surrounding loops of carpet, so that the newly pulled-out loop is slightly smaller than the original snag.

Repeat this process, weaving the yarn through the backing, each time making the new pulled-out loop of carpet just a little smaller than the previous one. Eventually you can work the snag back into the fabric of the carpet. The amount of time and number of loops this will take depends on how big the original snag is.

Good luck my friend
