Abstract: An artificial turf system for installation over a receiving surface that comprises a sheet member made of a flexible material, with the sheet member defining a first surface for interfacing with the receiving surface and a turf simulating surface. The artificial turf system further comprises a plurality of primary yarns made of straight fibers upwardly extending from the second surface of the sheet member, and a plurality of secondary yarns made of textured fibers upwardly extending from the second surface of the sheet material and interspersed within the plurality of primary yarns, wherein the plurality of secondary yarns representing more than 50% in weight of the plurality of primary and secondary yarns together. The primary and secondary yarns therefore simulate together the look and feel of the different blades of grass of natural grass cover.
