Abstract: A transitional carpet to be used between two different carpet types that are generally adjacent or abutting the transitional carpet. In example forms, the transitional carpet is generally a hybrid of two different carpet types, wherein the transitional carpet includes a combination of characteristics of the two different carpet types. By providing a transitional carpet having a combination of characteristics of the two different carpet types, the transition therebetween is less distinct and visually appealing. The characteristics that can be applied to the transitional carpet, which generally stem from the two different carpet types, can at least include a variation of pile heights, yarn materials, pile densities, pile types (cut, looped, or combination), colors, patterns, etc. Preferably, with the two different carpet types being known, the transitional carpet can be manufactured to include a desired combination of the characteristics thereof.
