Carpet gauge refers to the distance between adjacent rows of tufts (or needles) across the width of a tufted carpet. It is a key factor in how a carpet looks and feels: a closer gauge generally produces a denser, plusher surface, while a wider gauge gives a more open texture. Gauge interacts with other factors — fibre type, pile height, twist and backing — to influence appearance, comfort and durability. When selecting carpet, balance visual preference with expected foot traffic and maintenance.
