The invention is directed towards an automated shearing system for shearing a carpet from a first height to a desired height. Such system may include a number of pile height sensors, control units, shear heads, motors, and databases. The system determines how much carpet can be sheared by each shear head and actuates the shear head accordingly. Shearing a carpet to a desired height may require about one up to about three passes through the system. Methods of measuring a carpet, determining how much to shear the carpet, and shearing the carpet are included.

A pile knit fabric for internal materials of vehicles may include a knit layer prepared by weaving ground yarns, on one surface thereof, and a pile layer prepared by interweaving pile yarns with ground yarn loops of the knit layer, on the other surface thereof and, thus, has excellent physical coupling force between the ground yarns and the pile yarns and has excellent abrasion resistance, scratch resistance and formability as well as soft tactility.
