A carpet is made up of numerous processes, and the procedure is usually extremely involved. The primary backing is continuous filament, or BCF, while the secondary backing is staple fibres, which are twisted fibres. The yarns are then tufted into the principal backing using a machine with up to 12,000 needles and 12 feet of rollers.
