A method of tufting a carpet comprising inputting pattern data into a controller. The controller determines a nominal yarn feed rate to produce the yarns of the required height. It determines from the pattern data whether the transition in height from one loop to the next for each needle exceeds a predetermined threshold. If so it calculates an actual yarn feed rate based on a nominal yarn feed rate adapted by a transition parameter. The transition parameter is an operator input parameter representing the desired abruptness of the transition required between the loops of yarn where the predetermined threshold is exceeded. The carpet is tufted according to the actual yarn feed rate.
