carpet fibers
Floor covering threads
Carpet fibers are the individual strands that make up a carpet's pile—the soft surface you walk on.
Common materials include nylon, polyester, wool, and polypropylene, each with different durability and texture.
In forensic contexts, carpet fibers are trace evidence that can link suspects to crime scenes: They found carpet fibers matching the victim's home on his clothing.
