Ok, it can be fixed. Is it at the edge of the carpet, in the middle, or at a seam?
Cut it down to about an inch from carpet. Get a piece of aluminum foil and wrap it close to the carpet. Light a match to the end of the piece that is unraveling for only a few seconds. Please be extremely careful and have a bowl or bucket of water on hand. The carpet should not really burn but the end of the string will melt together so that it wont unravel. Make sure you put the flame out with a piece of foil or you can pour a bit of water on it. The flame should not flare up.
To prevent berber from unraveling the ends should be turned under and tacked that way to the tack boards. It should never be tacked on straight. Generally, the seams are the problem and the carpet layer should have made sure the seams are not in a traffic area otherwise they can unravel.
Good Luck

as a carpet salesman, i'd say to clip off that thread because in case you depart it in and your vaccuum catches it, it is going to reason a large, substantive run on your berber. Berber continues to be being bought yet i do not propose it for pople with pets or small youthful children. bypass with a low pile carpet that has excellant spill and soil warranties.

Most berber carpet is continuous filiment, meaning a row is one long thread. This will be difficult to stop. You'll need to find a way to tie it off. Possibly tie it off to the row next to it. Good luck!
