Carefully examine the carpet to locate the specific loop or strand that has been pulled out of place. Gently separate the loose fiber if it's tangled to better access its base. Next, take a small container of carpet adhesive (or a similar product designed to prevent fraying) and apply just a small drop directly onto the carpet pile where the pulled loop emerges. This adhesive will help stabilize the fiber and keep it in place once it's re-woven.
