Abstract (en)

The invention relates to an artificial turf (200, 300, 500, 520, 530) comprising textured thatch yarn fibers (206), textured face yarn fibers (204), and a carrier (202). The face yarn fibers are integrated in the carrier such that the thatch yarn fibers protrude from the carrier by a shared thatch yarn fiber height (L2). The thatch yarn fibers are integrated in the carrier such that the face yarn fibers protrude from the carrier by a shared face yarn fiber height (L3). The face yarn fiber height being larger than the thatch yarn fiber height.
