Loop carpet is done in 3 layers. The top layer is called the face fiber. These fibers are made of nylon, wool, olefin, polyester, acrylic or cotton. The face fiber is sewn on high speed machines to the second primary or base layer. The base primary is then attached to the secondary backing latex glue. These brackets are usually made of polypropylene. Polypropylene is well suited to wet or humid climates, because it resists moisture.

Tufted carpets are usually made first as "white" and then dyed with the desired color. For a pattern or color variation, manufacturers use more than one type of carpet fibers. Different fibers accept dyes in varying degrees, giving the desired effect.
