There is another term for it, but yes, there is a "grain" and it should all
run the same way. A good carpet guy will know the best layout and may piece
a hallway, for instance.

Couple terms come to mind: nap, pile and pattern distance.

Aha. I can inagine a real cheapo place saving a yard or two by
putting it down with these things not matching. And I can imagine
some, esp. young customers not figuring out what the problem is for
months or years.

Contract should say how many yards, and I guess specify that they nap,
pile and pattern match. Do conracts from good companies say that?
