Between 30 to 40 percent of Candlewick's yarns went to the companies in Dixie's floorcovering business. Other customers included Magee Automotive Products, Bentley Mills, Regal Rugs, and Fieldcrest. Frierson's research and development efforts at Candlewick led to the development of Weave-Tech, a spun yarn with a spandex core, and Naturesse, a heatset cotton yarn designed for bathroom rugs, which combines the aesthetics of cotton with the durability of synthetics. Three years after the purchase of Carriage Industries, the floorcovering business accounted for two-thirds of Dixie's sales.
