Corn rowing
Cornrowing is characterized by irregular rows in the carpet itself, which are usually anywhere from a half-inch to 2 inches apart. It happens more commonly in high-traffic areas of the home, and it can also cause the carpet to lose some of its comfort. Carpet cornrowing is also more common among styles with higher piles, Despite years of research and testing, no one has figured out why some carpets cornrow and others don’t. It is generally agreed that because the cut yarn ends can lay in any direction, it is also normal for cut pile fabrics to lay on their sides in rows.

I wondered what that was. I usually only see it on cheap construction grade in the ghetto.

There’s some idiot in Masons network who loves to post before and after pics of his jobs. He brags that he CRBs every job. The cornrows in his after pics are always there ... silently saying that guy is an idiot.

Go to is Blue, but I'd guess even white could inflict damage in a goof's hands.

Plush carpet is manufactured in "rows" of fibers that are sheared evenly. Wear, and aggressive brushing will expose that structural detail.
