This is a "hairy" effect on the carpet surface caused by loose fibers or slack yarn twist, whereby the fibers slip out of the yarn bundle, either in service or wet cleaning. Shedding is not a defect, but rather a characteristic of all new carpet, especially cut-piles and wools. It is caused by short fibers within the pile that work loose during service.
