Abstract
A tufted pile fabric constructed for the formation of carpet tile therefrom and having a diagonal pattern therein extending throughout the fabric. The diagonal pattern is defined by alternately arranged pairs of solid color yarns and spaced dyed yarns tufted in a zig-zag pattern. The tufted pile fabric is tufted to form random variable height loop pile which is thereafter lightly sheared to cut only some of the loops while leaving other loops uncut and some loops partially cut. This shearing visually presents the carpet as a cut pile fabric.
