Twist carpets (also known as frieze and California Berber) the cables (fibers twisted together like a piece of rope) are twisted tighter then most textured carpets. The twisted cables often curl. It is a more informal look and is a very durable choice. Textured carpets are denser and can be more formal. The cables are cut at a different angle at the tips so it can often look as though its multi colored although really its just how the light is reflecting off it. This carpet is also generally durable, but can be more prone to showing traffic patterns. I strongly believe when buying carpet, if this is going into a main room and will be trafficked a lot, you want to buy a nylon carpet. It is very hard to tell the difference between nylon and polyester, but you will have a much longer life out of one made with nylon.
