neutral  silfilla: IMO, the source text refers to general deep-pile carpets etc.; a Flokati would have been referred to as such. Why did you repost the identical answer half an hour later?

  -> It was probably a mistake! I pressed only once. Don't know what happened...
disagree  Richard Benham: Far too specific.
