I prefer melting a small hole through the carpet. Heat up an awl
or other object with a propane torch or even the kitchen stove.
All the yarn ends will be melted and sealed with no chance to
unravel.

I'm running a cable line and have to drill through some carpet.
I don't want the bit to catch or snag the carpet, and maybe pull
a thread so it ruins the entire rug. How does one drill through
carpet? Cut it first?

Thanks,

Sam
