Several natural and synthetic fibers are used in machine carpet production. Due to allergy and dust problems on acrylic carpets, abrasion and felting problems on polypropylene carpets; polyester, which stands out with its high strength, has been recently used as not only warp yarn but also pile yarn. It is stated by machine-made carpet manufacturers that carpets with polyester pile yarn have a softer touch and brighter colours than carpets with polypropylene pile yarns. In this study, polyester plied yarns with softener additives were produced and polyester pile yarns were obtained similar to viscose pile yarns. 150 denier yarns with number of 144 filaments were plied and 1200 denier pile yarns were obtained. With the aim of determining the optimum soft and strength properties, 3 wilton type face to face carpet samples were produced with 50/60/90 weft/10 cm densities. Carpet samples were carried out to short term static loading test and the results were analyzed statistically. According to the ANOVA results, weft density had not a significant effect on thickness loss, however had a significant effect on resilience.
