in one of our bedrooms, the berber carpet got a pull in a loop and is
hanging out. is there anyway to fix the loop? can i cut it off or will that
cause a run eventually? can it be tucked back into the backing w/ a
knitting needle or crochet needle? any help??

You cannot get rid of the loop -- but you can
pull it through to the back of the carpet, so
it can no longer be seen.

Yes to both.

Cutting it off is preferable -- no loose loop for dog, cat or kid to
catch hold of.

That is what the installer told us to do if a we got a pull in ours.
Snip it off low.

Cut it carefully as short as possible with sharp scissors or a razor blade.
