Pulling the yarn can damage the backing or unravel a continuous loop. Use sharp scissors to trim only the raised portion without cutting surrounding fibers. Multiple sprouts, loose rows, or continuing yarn loss may indicate a backing or tuft-bind problem. The location should be photographed and reported when the issue is widespread or recurring.
