Abstract: In one aspect, the invention relates to methods for dyeing greige goods to produce a random dye pattern, compositions and articles produced therefrom. In a further aspect, the invention relates to methods of methods for dyeing greige goods to produce a random dye pattern using a dyeing machine. In still a further aspect, the invention relates to methods of producing unique dye patterns for greige goods. This abstract is intended as a scanning tool for purposes of searching in the particular art and is not intended to be limiting of the present invention.

Abstract: A carpet tile having a contrast pattern intermixed with a portion of a background pattern. The contrast pattern is positioned proximate a selected side edge of the carpet tile and has a contrast color different than the colors of the background pattern. Within a floor covering, the rotational position of the carpet tile can be varied to thereby achieve a desired visual appearance with respect to the contrast patterns of adjacent carpet tiles.
