Et hotell har "shag pile carpet" på alle rom. Noen som vet hva noe slikt kalles på norsk?

For meg ser det ut til å være det samme?

langhåret teppe

Explanation:
Clue foreslår "langhåret teppe", og i følge en definisjon på shag pile er det snakk om hårlengder på mer enn 3/4 tomme. Er vel vanskelig å oversette dette, så en bør kanskje bruke det engelske i parantes?

http://www.stantoncarpet.com/CarpetGlossary.aspx#s

Shag
A deep-pile texture with long, cut surface yarns. Currently defined as having a pile height greater than 3/4" with density not exceeding 1800.
