Where to find shag carpet that you can use wall to wall in hour home? Currently there are two sources for shag that I know of.
Where to find shag rugs and wall-to-wall carpet
Sansom Shag Rugs:
Sansom Shag Rugs — For shag carpet that you can really did your toes into, check out Sansom Shag Rugs. Based in Texas and with manufacturing in Georgia, this small company specializes in deep-pile shag carpeting: “3 Inch Amazing Thick, Tufted, Luxurious True Shag Rug,” they say. They also have some shorter shags.

Sansom has dozens of colors to choose from — including retro classics like burnt orange, gold, lipstick red, and groovy shades of green. And, they even have multicolors. You can order custom rug according to the size or shape you want, or you can order yardage to install wall-to-wall.
Kane Carpet:
Kane Carpet’s Shagtacular collection has 30 different designs/patterns of shag carpet. Most of the colors are neutral, but there are few colors in there, like the Candy Cane line with its Passion Pink, Green Apple, Orange Slice, and Peppermint. I also really dig the Canpana, with its striped Rust, Olive, Plum, Denim, and Tray colorways.
Searching around the internet, it seems that the pile depths from Kane varies from 1.5′ to 2″; check specs with Kane or your local retailer. Looks like you can buy this as yardage for wall-to-wall installations, or you can ask your local retailer to bind you a rug.
Anyone else suddenly feeling the need to find a room for some flower power shag carpeting?

If anyone is still looking at this post in 2020, in addition to the “Kids Rule” line, check out “Tennyson” and “Modern Vibe.” Comes in 30 colors. I will never be able to choose only 2. Our house in Carpenteria, CA built 1962, that we lived in in 1976-1977, had carpet like Shaw’s “Modern Vibe” in teal and green (living room) and rust orange and yellow (den). It was so annoying I thought then because the shag got caught in the undercarriage of my Barbie’s corvette.

Thanks! I had a Barbie Corvette too, but must not have had shag carpet because I don’t remember that particular problem – vroom vroom!

Shaw “Kids Rule” collection has twelve fabulously bright colors (well actually eleven bright colors plus black). I have the baby pink in the master at my 1965 traditional house, and just ordered samples of the two blues and light purple for my 1963 modern master bedrooms that we’re fixing to recarpet! It’s not shag though–just regular old fashioned carpet like I remember from the 1960s.
