Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Business The Company's businesses consist principally of marketing, manufacturing and selling finished carpet, rugs, luxury vinyl flooring and engineered wood flooring in the domestic floorcovering market. The Company sells floorcovering products in residential applications. Additionally, the Company provides manufacturing support to its carpet businesses through its separate processing operations. Based on applicable accounting standards, the Company has determined that it has one reportable segment, Floorcovering. On September 13, 2021, the Company acting by and through its wholly owned operating subsidiary, TDG Operations, LLC, sold its Atlas|Masland commercial business (the “Commercial Business”). As a result of entering into a definitive agreement, we have classified the related assets and liabilities associated with our Commercial Business as held for discontinued operations in our consolidated balance sheet . The results of our Commercial Business have been presented as discontinued operations in our consolidated statement of income for all periods presented as the sale represents a shift in our business that has a major effect on our operations and financial results. Prior to the consummation of the sale, the Company was neither actively marketing the business for sale nor had intentions to abandon the Commercial Business and as a result did not present the results as assets held for sale or discontinued operations in prior filings. Interest expense and general and administrative expenses were not allocated to discontinued operations. Our consolidated financial statements and disclosures as of and for the year ended December 26, 2020 have been adjusted to reflect such discontinued operations classifications. See Note 21 for further detail of the Company’s discontinued operations reporting. Unless specifically noted otherwise, footnote disclosures reflect the results of continuing operations only. The results of discontinued operations are presented in footnote 21. Principles of Consolidation The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of The Dixie Group, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the "Company"). Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates and these differences could be material. Fiscal Year The Company ends its fiscal year on the last Saturday of December. All references herein to "2021" and "2020" mean the fiscal years ended December 25, 2021 and December 26, 2020 respectively. All years presented contained 52 weeks. Discontinued Operations The consolidated financial statements separately report discontinued operations and the results of continuing operations (See Note 21). Cash and Cash Equivalents Highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased are reported as cash equivalents. Market Risk The Company sells carpet to floorcovering retailers, the interior design, architectural and specifier communities and supplies carpet yarn and carpet dyeing and finishing services to certain manufacturers. The Company's customers are located principally throughout the United States. As a percentage of net sales, one customer accounted for approximately 9% in 2021 and 9% in 2020. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of net sales in 2021 or 2020, nor did the Company make a significant amount of sales to foreign countries during 2021 or 2020. Credit Risk The Company grants credit to its customers with defined payment terms, performs ongoing evaluations of the credit worthiness of its customers and generally does not require collateral. Accounts receivable are carried at their outstanding principal amounts, less an anticipated amount for discounts and an allowance for doubtful accounts, which management believes is sufficient to cover potential credit losses based on historical experience and periodic evaluation of the financial condition of the Company's customers. As a percentage of customer's trade accounts receivable, one customer accounted for approximately 20% in 2021 and 23% in 2020. Notes receivable are carried at their outstanding principal amounts, less an allowance for doubtful accounts to cover potential credit losses based on the financial condition of borrowers and collateral held by the Company. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the last-in, first-out ("LIFO") method, which generally matches current costs of inventory sold with current revenues, for substantially all inventories. Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at the lower of cost or impaired value. Provisions for depreciation and amortization of property, plant and equipment have been computed for financial reporting purposes using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, ranging from 10 to 40 years for buildings and improvements, and 3 to 10 years for machinery and equipment. Costs to repair and maintain the Company's equipment and facilities are expensed as incurred. Such costs typically include expenditures to maintain equipment and facilities in good repair and proper working condition. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment when circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be fully recoverable. When the carrying value of the asset exceeds the value of its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized equal to the difference between the asset's carrying value and its fair value. Fair value is estimated using discounted cash flows, prices for similar assets or other valuation techniques. Self-Insured Benefit Programs The Company records liabilities to reflect an estimate of the ultimate cost of claims related to its self-insured medical and dental benefits and workers' compensation. The amounts of such liabilities are based on an analysis of the Company's historical experience for each type of claim. Income Taxes The Company recognizes deferred income tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences of the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. The Company evaluates the recoverability of these future tax benefits by assessing the adequacy of future expected taxable income from all sources. In the event that the Company is not able to realize all or a portion of the deferred tax assets in the future, a valuation allowance is provided. The Company recognizes such amounts through a charge to income in the period in which that determination is made or when tax law changes are enacted. The Company accounts for uncertainty in income tax positions according to FASB guidance relating to uncertain tax positions. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, in income tax expense. Derivative Financial Instruments The Company does not hold speculative financial instruments, nor does it hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes. The Company uses derivative instruments, currently interest rate swaps, to minimize the effects of interest rate volatility. The Company recognizes all derivatives at fair value. Derivatives that are designated as cash flow hedges are linked to specific liabilities on the Company's balance sheet. The Company assesses, both at inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged items. When it is determined that a derivative is not highly effective or the derivative expires, is sold, terminated, or exercised, the Company discontinues hedge accounting for that specific hedge instrument. Changes in the fair value of effective cash flow hedges are deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCIL") and reclassified to earnings in the same periods during which the hedge transaction affects earnings. Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are not effective cash flow hedges are recognized in results of operations. Treasury Stock The Company classifies treasury stock as a reduction to Common Stock for the par value of such shares acquired and the difference between the par value and the price paid for each share recorded either entirely to retained earnings or to additional paid-in-capital for periods in which the Company does not have retained earnings. This presentation reflects the repurchased shares as authorized but unissued as prescribed by state statute. Revenue Recognition The Company derives its revenues primarily from the sale of floorcovering products and processing services. Revenues are recognized when control of these products or services is transferred to its customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those products and services. Sales, value add, and other taxes the Company collects concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. Shipping and handling fees charged to customers are reported within revenue. Incidental items that are immaterial in the context of the contract are recognized as expense. The Company does not have any significant financing components as payment is received at or shortly after the point of sale. The Company determined revenue recognition through the following steps: • Identification of the contract with a customer • Identification of the performance obligations in the contract • Determination of the transaction price • Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract • Recognition of revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied Performance Obligations For performance obligations related to residential floorcovering products, control transfers at a point in time. To indicate the transfer of control, the Company must have a present right to payment, legal title must have passed to the customer and the customer must have the significant risks and rewards of ownership. The Company’s principal terms of sale are FOB Shipping Point and FOB Destination and the Company transfers control and records revenue for product sales either upon shipment or delivery to the customer, respectively. Revenue is allocated to each performance obligation based on its relative stand-alone selling prices. Stand-alone selling prices are based on observable prices at which the Company separately sells the products or services. Variable Consideration The nature of the Company’s business gives rise to variable consideration, including rebates, allowances, and returns that generally decrease the transaction price, which reduces revenue. These variable amounts are generally credited to the customer, based on achieving certain levels of sales activity, product returns, or price concessions. Variable consideration is estimated at the most likely amount that is expected to be earned. Estimated amounts are included in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Estimates of variable consideration are estimated based upon historical experience and known trends. Advertising Costs The Company engages in promotional and advertising programs. Expenses relating to these programs are charged to results of operations during the period of the related benefits. These arrangements do not require significant estimates of costs. Costs related to cooperative advertising programs are normally recorded as selling and administrative expenses when the Company can reasonably identify the benefit associated with the program and can reasonably estimate that the fair value of the benefit is equal to or greater than its cost. The amount of advertising and promotion expenses included in selling and administrative expenses was not significant for the years 2021 and 2020. Warranties The Company generally provides product warranties related to manufacturing defects and specific performance standards for its products for a period of up to two years. The Company accrues for estimated future assurance warranty costs in the period in which the sale is recorded. The costs are included in cost of sales in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and the product warranty reserve is included in accrued expenses in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company calculates its accrual using the portfolio approach based upon historical experience and known trends (See Note 9). The Company does not provide an additional service-type warranty. Cost of Sales Cost of sales includes all costs related to manufacturing the Company's products, including purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs, warehousing costs, freight costs, internal transfer costs or other costs of the Company's distribution network. Selling and Administrative Expenses Selling and administrative expenses include all costs, not included in cost of sales, related to the sale and marketing of the Company's products and general administration of the Company's business. Operating Leases The Company determines if an arrangement is an operating lease or a financing lease at inception. A lease exists if the Company obtains substantially all of the economic benefits of, and has the right to control the use of, an asset for a period of time. Right-of-use assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease agreement. Lease assets and obligations are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the term of the lease. Right-of-use assets may also be adjusted to reflect any prepayments made or any incentive payments received. Generally, the Company's leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit interest rate, therefore, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate, which is based on information available at the lease commencement date, to determine the present value of lease payments. The Company has operating leases primarily for real estate and equipment used in manufacturing. Operating lease expense is recognized in continuing operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term within cost of sales and selling and administrative expenses. Financing lease expense is comprised of both interest expense, which is recognized using the effective interest method, and amortization of the right-of-use assets. These expenses are presented consistently with the presentation of other interest expense and amortization or depreciation of similar assets. In determining lease asset values, the Company considers fixed and variable payment terms, prepayments, incentives, and options to extend, terminate or purchase. Renewal, termination, or purchase options affect the lease term used for determining lease asset value only if the option is reasonably certain to be exercised. Stock-Based Compensation The Company recognizes compensation expense relating to stock-based payments based on the fair value of the equity or liability instrument issued. Restricted stock grants with pro-rata vesting are expensed using the straight-line method. (Terms of the Company's awards are specified in Note 17). The Company accounts for forfeitures when they actually occur.

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS Accounting Standards Adopted in Fiscal 2021 In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, “Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General (Subtopic 715-20) - Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans.” This update is a part of FASB’s disclosure framework project to improve the effectiveness of disclosures in the notes to financial statements. The amendments in this update modify the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. This standard is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020 and early adoption is permitted. Upon adoption, this update is to be applied on a retrospective basis to all periods presented. The adoption of this ASU did not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, "Income Taxes (ASC 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes." The standard eliminates the need for an organization to analyze whether the following apply in a given period: (1) the exception to the incremental approach for intraperiod tax allocation; (2) the exceptions to accounting for basis differences when there are ownership changes in foreign investments; and (3) the exception in interim periods income tax accounting for year-to-date losses that exceed anticipated losses. The ASU also is designed to improve financial statement preparers’ application of income tax-related guidance and simplify GAAP for (1) franchise taxes that are partially based on income, (2) transactions with a government that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill, (3) separate financial statements of legal entities that are not subject to tax, (4) enacted changes in tax laws in interim periods and (5) certain income tax accounting for employee stock ownership plans and affordable housing projects. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. See footnote 14 on Income Taxes for further information. Accounting Standards Yet to Be Adopted In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments," which amends the impairment model to utilize an expected loss methodology in place of the current incurred loss methodology, which will result in the more timely recognition of losses. For smaller reporting entities, ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The ASU, including the subsequently issued codification improvements update ("Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments," ASU 2019-04) and the targeted transition relief update ("Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326)," ASU 2019-05), is not expected to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements due to the nature of the Company's customers and the limited amount of write-offs in past years.

Commercial fl oorcovering products include broadloom carpet, carpet tile, rugs, and luxury vinyl flooring. These products are sold into the corporate, hospitality, healthcare, government, and education markets through the use of designers and architects. Contract Balances Other than receivables that represent an unconditional right to consideration, which are presented separately (See Note 4), the Company does not recognize any contract assets which give conditional rights to receive consideration, as the Company does not incur costs to obtain customer contracts that are recoverable. The Company often receives cash payments from customers in advance of the Company’s performance for limited production run orders resulting in contract liabilities. These contract liabilities are classified in accrued expenses in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets based on the timing of when the Company expects to recognize revenue, which is typically less than a year. The net decrease or increase in the contract liabilities is primarily driven by order activity for limited runs requiring deposits offset by the recognition of revenue and application of deposit on the receivables ledger for such activity during the period. The activity in the advanced deposits for continuing operations are as follows: 2021 2020 Beginning contract liability $ 1,005 $ 920 Revenue recognized from contract liabilities included in the beginning balance (927) (883) Increases due to cash received, net of amounts recognized in revenue during the period 1,207 968 Ending contract liability $ 1,285 $ 1,005

The loan is secured by a first priority security interest on all accounts receivable, cash, and inventory, and provides for borrowing limited by certain percentages of values of the accounts receivable and inventory. The revolving credit facility matures on October 30, 2025. At the Company's election, advances of the revolving credit facility bear interest at annual rates equal to either (a) LIBOR for 1, 2, or 3 month periods, as defined with a floor or 0.75% or published LIBOR, plus an applicable margin ranging between 1.50% and 2.00%, or (b) the higher of the prime rate plus an applicable margin ranging between 0.50% and 1.00%. The applicable margin is determined based on availability under the revolving credit facility with margins increasing as availability decreases. As of December 25, 2021, the applicable margin on the Company's revolving credit facility was 1.75% for LIBOR and 0.75% for Prime. The Company pays an unused line fee on the average amount by which the aggregate commitments exceed utilization of the revolving credit facility equal to 0.25% per annum. The weighted-average interest rate on borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility was 3.00% at December 25, 2021 and 2.68% for December 26, 2020. The agreement is subject to customary terms and conditions and annual administrative fees with pricing varying on excess availability and a fixed charge coverage ratio. The agreement is also subject to certain compliance, affirmative, and financial covenants. As of the reporting date, the Company is in compliance or has obtained an appropriate waiver for all such applicable covenants. The Company is only subject to the financial covenants if borrowing availability is less than 12.5% of the availability, and remains until the availability is greater than 12.5% for thirty Effective October 30, 2020, the Company's previous Senior Secured Credit Facility with Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC was terminated and repaid, with the subsequent new loans, by the Company upon notice to the lender in accordance with the terms of the facility.

The term of the loan is 25 years and bears interest at a minimum 5.00% rate or 4.00% above 5-year treasury, to be reset every 5 years at 3.5% above 5-year treasury. The loan is secured by a first mortgage on the Company’s Atmore, Alabama and Roanoke, Alabama facilities and requires certain compliance, affirmative, and financial covenants. As of the reporting date, the Company is in compliance with all such covenants. Effective October 29, 2020, the Company entered into a $15,000 principal amount USDA Guaranteed term loan with the Greater Nevada Credit Union as lender. The term of the loan is 10 years and bears interest at a minimum 5.00% rate or 4.00% above 5- year in compliance with all such covenants. Payments on the loan are interest only over the first three years and principal and interest over the remaining seven years. Notes Payable - Buildings On November 7, 2014, the Company entered into a ten-year $8,330 note payable to purchase a previously leased distribution center in Adairsville, Georgia. The note payable is scheduled to mature on November 7, 2024 and is secured by the distribution center. The note payable bears interest at a variable rate equal to one-month LIBOR plus 2.0% and is payable in equal monthly installments of principal of $35, plus interest calculated on the declining balance of the note, with a final payment of $4,165 due on maturity. In addition, the Company entered into an interest rate swap with an amortizing notional amount effective November 7, 2014 which effectively fixes the interest rate at 4.50%. Notes Payable - Equipment and Other The Company's equipment financing notes have terms ranging from 1 to 7 years, bore interest ranging from 1.60% to 7.00% through the year 2021 and are due in monthly installments through their maturity dates.

Finance Lease - Buildings On January 14, 2019, the Company, entered into a purchase and sale agreement (the “Purchase and Sale Agreement”) with Saraland Industrial, LLC, an Alabama limited liability company (the “Purchaser”). Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase and Sale Agreement, the Company sold its Saraland facility, and approximately 17.12 acres of surrounding property located in Saraland, Alabama (the “Property”) to the Purchaser for a purchase price of $11,500. Concurrent with the sale of the Property, the Company and the Purchaser entered into a twenty-year lease agreement (the “Lease Agreement”), whereby the Company will lease back the Property at an annual rental rate of $977, subject to annual rent increases of 1.25%. Under the Lease Agreement, the Company has two (2) consecutive options to extend the term of the Lease by ten years for each such option. This transaction was recorded as a failed sale and leaseback as the present value of lease payments exceeded 90% of its fair value. The Company recorded a liability for the amounts received, will continue to depreciate the asset, and has imputed an interest rate so that the net carrying amount of the financial liability and remaining assets will be zero at the end of the lease term.

Leases [Abstract]
Leases	LEASES COVID-19 Pandemic In response to the large volume of anticipated lease concessions to be granted related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the resulting expected cost and complexity of applying the lease modification requirements in ASC 842, the FASB issued Staff Q&A-Topic 842 and Topic 840: Accounting for Lease Concessions Related to the Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic , in April 2020 as interpretive guidance to provide clarity in response to the crisis. The FASB staff indicated that it would be acceptable for entities to make an election to account for lease concessions related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic consistent with how they would be accounted for as though enforceable rights and obligations for those concessions existed in the original contract. Consequently, for such lease concessions, an entity will not need to reassess each existing contract to determine whether enforceable rights and obligations for concessions exist and an entity can then elect to apply or not to apply the lease modification guidance in ASC 842 to those contracts. This election is available for concessions related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic that will result in the total payments required by the modified contract being substantially the same as or less than total payments required by the original contract. The Company has made this election and, consequently, for such lease concessions, did not reassess each existing contract to determine whether enforceable rights and obligations for concessions existed and elected not to apply the lease modification guidance in ASC 842 to those contracts. The Company has accounted for the concessions as if no changes to the lease contract were made and has subsequently increased accounts payable and has continued to recognize expense during the deferral period.

Concurrent with the sale of the Susan Street facility, the Company (by a wholly-owned subsidiary) entered into an operating lease to lease back the property for a term of 10 years with two 5 year renewal options. The initial annual rental is $2,083 increasing at 2% per year for the term of the lease. The lease requires the landlord to make certain required capital improvements, at no further rental increase or charge to the Company. The Company is responsible for normal maintenance of the building and facilities. The Company concurrently executed a lease guaranty, pursuant to which it guaranteed the prompt payment when due of all rent payments to be made under the lease agreement.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS Fair value is defined as the exchange value of an asset or a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The fair value guidance outlines a valuation framework and establishes a fair value hierarchy in order to increase the consistency and comparability of fair value measurements and disclosures. The hierarchy consists of three levels as follows: Level 1 - Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reported date; Level 2 - Other than quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and other than quoted prices for assets or liabilities and prices that are derived principally from or corroborated by market data by correlation or other means; and Level 3 - Measurements using management's best estimate of fair value, where the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation. The following table reflects the fair values of assets and liabilities measured and recognized at fair value on a recurring basis on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets: 2021 2020 Fair Value Hierarchy Level Liabilities: Interest rate swaps (1) $ 210 $ 440 Level 2 (1) The Company uses certain external sources in deriving the fair value of the interest rate swaps. The interest rate swaps were valued using observable inputs (e.g., LIBOR yield curves, credit spreads). Valuations of interest rate swaps may fluctuate considerably from period-to-period due to volatility in underlying interest rates, which are driven by market conditions and the duration of the instrument. Credit adjustments could have a significant impact on the valuations due to changes in credit ratings of the Company or its counterparties. The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments are summarized as follows: 2021 2020 Carrying Fair Carrying Fair Amount Value Amount Value Financial assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 1,471 $ 1,471 $ 1,920 $ 1,920 Financial liabilities: Long-term debt, including current portion 63,275 61,721 61,219 58,803 Finance leases, including current portion 13,787 16,389 16,938 18,451 Interest rate swaps 210 210 440 440 The fair values of the Company's long-term debt and finance leases were estimated using market rates the Company believes would be available for similar types of financial instruments and represent level 2 measurements. The fair values of cash and cash equivalents and notes receivable approximate their carrying amounts due to the short-term nature of the financial instruments.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivatives	DERIVATIVES The Company's earnings, cash flows and financial position are exposed to market risks relating to interest rates. It is the Company's policy to minimize its exposure to adverse changes in interest rates and manage interest rate risks inherent in funding the Company with debt. The Company addresses this risk by maintaining a mix of fixed and floating rate debt and entering into interest rate swaps for a portion of its variable rate debt to minimize interest rate volatility. The following is a summary of the Company's interest rate swaps as of year end:: Type Notional Amount Effective Date Fixed Rate Variable Rate Interest rate swap $ 5,796 (1) November 7, 2014 through November 7, 2024 4.500% 1 Month LIBOR (1) Interest rate swap notional amount amortizes by $35 monthly to maturity.

The obligations for continuing operations owed to participants under this plan were $15,794 at December 25, 2021 and $15,081 at December 26, 2020 and are included in other long-term liabilities in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. The obligations for discontinued operations owed to participants under this plan were $2,218 at December 25, 2021 and $2,566 at December 26, 2020 and are included in long term liabilities of discontinued operations in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets.The obligations are unsecured general obligations of the Company and the participants have no right, interest or claim in the assets of the Company, except as unsecured general creditors. The Company utilizes a Rabbi Trust to hold, invest and reinvest deferrals and contributions under the plan. Amounts are invested in Company-owned life insurance in the Rabbi Trust and the cash surrender value of the policies for continuing operations was $16,608 at December 25, 2021 and $15,385 at December 26, 2020 and is included in other assets in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. The cash surrender value of the policies for discontinued operations was $2,218 at December 25, 2021 and $2,566 at December 26, 2020 and is included in long term assets of discontinued operations in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. Multi-Employer Pension Plan Recognized within discontinued operations, the Company contributes to a multi-employer pension plan under the terms of a collective-bargaining agreement that covers its union-represented employees. These union-represented employees represented approximately 15% of the Company's total employees. The risks of participating in multi-employer plans are different from single-employer plans. If a participating employer stops contributing to the plan, the unfunded obligations of the plan may be borne by the remaining participating employers. If the Company chooses to stop participating in the multi-employer plan, the Company may be required to pay the plan an amount based on the underfunded status of the plan, referred to as a withdrawal liability. The Company's participation in the multi-employer pension plan for 2021 is provided in the table below. The "EIN/Pension Plan Number" column provides the Employee Identification Number (EIN) and the three digit plan number. The most recent Pension Protection Act (PPA) zone status available in 2021 and 2020 is for the plan's year-end at 2020 and 2019, respectively. The zone status is based on information that the Company received from the plan and is certified by the plan's actuary. Among other factors, plans in the red zone are generally less than 65% funded, plans in the yellow zone are less than 80% funded and plans in the green zone are at least 80% funded. The "FIP/RP Status Pending/Implemented" column indicates a plan for which a financial improvement plan (FIP) or a rehabilitation plan (RP) is either pending or has been implemented. The last column lists the expiration date of the collective-bargaining agreement to which the plan is subject.

The Company will make additional contributions, as mandated by law, in accordance with the fund's 2010 Rehabilitation Plan which required a surcharge equal to $0.03 per hour (from $0.47 to $0.50) effective June 1, 2014 to May 31, 2015, a surcharge equal to $0.03 per hour (from $0.50 to $0.53) effective June 1, 2015 to May 31, 2016, a surcharge equal to $0.02 per hour (from $0.53 to $0.55) effective June 1, 2016 to May 31, 2017, a surcharge equal to $0.03 per hour (from $0.55 to $0.58) effective June 1, 2017 to May 31, 2018, a surcharge equal to $0.02 per hour (from $0.58 to $0.60) effective June 1, 2018 to May 31, 2019, a surcharge equal to $0.03 per hour (from $0.60 to $0.63) effective June 1, 2019 to May 31, 2020, and a surcharge equal to $0.03 per hour (from $0.63 to $0.66) effective June 1, 2020 to May 31, 2021. Based upon current employment and benefit levels, the Company's contributions to the multi-employer pension plan are expected to be approximately $290 for 2022. (2) The Company's contributions to the plan do not represent more than 5% of the total contributions to the plan for the most recent plan year available. Postretirement Plans The Company sponsors a postretirement benefit plan that provides life insurance to a limited number of associates upon retirement as part of a collective bargaining agreement. Information about the benefit obligation and funded status of the Company's postretirement benefit plan is summarized as follows: 2021 2020 Change in benefit obligation: Benefit obligation at beginning of year $ 390 $ 360 Service cost 8 8 Interest cost 16 17 Actuarial (gain) loss (17) 6 Benefits paid (1) (1) Benefit obligation at end of year 396 390 Change in plan assets: Fair value of plan assets at beginning of year — — Employer contributions 1 1 Benefits paid (1) (1) Fair value of plan assets at end of year — — Unfunded amount $ (396) $ (390) The balance sheet classification of the Company's liability for the postretirement benefit plan is summarized as follows: 2021 2020 Accrued expenses $ 19 $ 17 Other long-term liabilities 377 373 Total liability $ 396 $ 390 Benefits expected to be paid on behalf of associates for the postretirement benefit plan during the period 2021 through 2030 are summarized as follows: Years Postretirement 2022 $ 19 2023 18 2024 17 2025 17 2026 16 2027-31 83 Assumptions used to determine the benefit obligation of the Company's postretirement benefit plan are summarized as follows: 2021 2020 Weighted-average assumptions as of year-end: Discount rate (benefit obligation) 3.25 % 3.25 % Components of net periodic benefit cost (credit) for the postretirement plan are summarized as follows: 2021 2020 Service cost $ 8 $ 8 Interest cost 16 17 Amortization of prior service credits — — Recognized net actuarial gains (22) (25) Net periodic benefit cost (credit) $ 2 $ — Pre-tax amounts included in AOCIL for the Company's postretirement benefit plan at 2020 are summarized as follows: Postretirement Benefit Plan Balance at 2021 2022 Expected Amortization Unrecognized actuarial gains $ (309) $ (22) Totals $ (309) $ (22)

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	INCOME TAXES The provision (benefit) for income taxes on income (loss) from continuing operations consists of the following: 2021 2020 Current Federal $ 141 $ (912) State 136 109 Total current 277 (803) Deferred Federal (139) (277) State (33) (66) Total deferred (172) (343) Income tax provision (benefit) $ 105 $ (1,146) Differences between the provision (benefit) for income taxes and the amount computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate to income (loss) from continuing operations before taxes are summarized as follows: 2021 2020 Federal statutory rate 21 % 21 % Statutory rate applied to income (loss) from continuing operations before taxes $ 1,104 $ (2,296) Plus state income taxes, net of federal tax effect 81 34 Total statutory provision (benefit) 1,185 (2,262) Effect of differences: Nondeductible meals and entertainment 1 30 Executive compensation limitation 37 — Federal tax credits (227) (279) Reserve for uncertain tax positions 7 7 Change in valuation allowance (857) 1,236 Stock-based compensation (18) 141 Other items (23) (19) Income tax provision (benefit) $ 105 $ (1,146) During the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company recorded a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets, which remains in effect as of December 25, 2021. The Company intends to maintain this position until there is sufficient evidence to support the reversal of all or some portion of these allowances. The Company also has certain assets with indefinite lives for which the basis is different for book and tax. In accordance with ASC 740-10-30-18, the deferred tax liability related to these intangible assets cannot be used to offset deferred tax assets when determining the amount of the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets which are not more-likely-than-not to be realized. The result is that the Company is in a net deferred tax liability position of $91 at December 25, 2021 and December 26, 2020, respectively, which is recorded in other long-term liabilities in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. The income tax provision for the twelve months ended December 25, 2021 was $105 compared with an income tax benefit of $1,146 for the twelve months ended December 26, 2020. Due to its full valuation allowance against its deferred tax balances, the Company is only able to recognize refundable credits, a small amount of state taxes, and benefits for both the reduction of certain indefinite lived assets not covered by the Company's valuation allowance and the recognition of stranded tax effects within other comprehensive income (loss) related to the termination of certain derivative contracts in the tax benefit for 2020 and 2021. In 2021, the Company adopted ASU 2019-12 which impacts the accounting for income taxes. One of the items in the new accounting standard is a removal of the exception to the incremental approach for intraperiod tax allocation in the event of a loss from continuing operations and income from other financial statement components. In 2020, the Company had a loss from continuing operations and income from discontinued operations. Because the Company did not early adopt ASU 2019-12 for the 2020 reporting year, the income from discontinued operations was considered a source of taxable income to realize a partial tax benefit for the loss generated by continuing operations. As such, the 2020 financial statements reflect tax expense in discontinued operations and a tax benefit in continuing operations. Applying the change on a prospective basis, this did not occur in 2021 and as such created a difference in the effective tax rate for continuing operations between 2020 and 2021. Significant components of the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows: 2021 2020 Deferred tax assets: Inventories $ 2,316 $ 2,061 Retirement benefits 824 1,126 State net operating losses 3,033 3,305 Federal net operating losses — 556 State tax credit carryforwards 1,669 1,688 Federal tax credit carryforwards 4,136 4,413 Allowances for bad debts, claims and discounts 1,779 1,874 Other 3,958 4,595 Total deferred tax assets 17,715 19,618 Valuation allowance (12,851) (14,202) Net deferred tax assets 4,864 5,416 Deferred tax liabilities: Property, plant and equipment 4,955 5,507 Total deferred tax liabilities 4,955 5,507 Net deferred tax liability $ (91) $ (91) At December 25, 2021, $3,033 of deferred tax assets related to approximately $58,180 of state net operating loss carryforwards. In addition, $4,136 of federal tax credit carryforwards and $1,669 of state tax credit carryforwards were available to the Company. The federal tax credit carryforwards will expire between 2029 and 2042. The federal net operating loss carryforwards generated in 2018 have no expiration. The state net operating loss carryforwards and the state tax credit carryforwards will expire between 2021 and 2041. A valuation allowance of $12,851 is recorded to reflect the estimated amount of deferred tax assets that may not be realized during the carryforward periods. At December 25, 2021, the Company is in a net deferred tax liability position of $91 which is included in other long-term liabilities in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. Tax Uncertainties The Company accounts for uncertainty in income tax positions according to FASB guidance relating to uncertain tax positions. Unrecognized tax benefits were $494 at December 25, 2021 and $487 at December 26, 2020. Such benefits, if recognized, would affect the Company's effective tax rate. There were no significant interest or penalties accrued as of December 25, 2021 or December 26, 2020. The following is a summary of the change in the Company's unrecognized tax benefits: 2021 2020 Balance at beginning of year $ 487 $ 480 Additions based on tax positions taken during a current period 7 7 Balance at end of year $ 494 $ 487

Earnings Per Share, Basic and Diluted [Abstract]
COMMON STOCK AND EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE	COMMON STOCK AND EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE Common & Preferred Stock The Company's charter authorizes 80,000,000 shares of Common Stock with a $3 par value per share and 16,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock with a $3 par value per share. Holders of Class B Common Stock have the right to twenty votes per share on matters that are submitted to Shareholders for approval and to dividends in an amount not greater than dividends declared and paid on Common Stock. Class B Common Stock is restricted as to transferability and may be converted into Common Stock on a one share for one share basis. The Company's charter also authorizes 200,000,000 shares of Class C Common Stock, $3 par value per share, and 16,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock. No shares of Class C Common Stock or Preferred Stock have been issued. Earnings (Loss) Per Share The Company's unvested stock awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents, whether paid or unpaid, are considered participating securities and are included in the computation of earnings per share. The accounting guidance requires additional disclosure of EPS for common stock and unvested share-based payment awards, separately disclosing distributed and undistributed earnings. Undistributed earnings represent earnings that were available for distribution but were not distributed. Common stock and unvested share-based payment awards earn dividends equally. All earnings were undistributed in all periods presented. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations: 2021 2020 Basic earnings (loss) per share: Income (loss) from continuing operations $ 5,153 $ (9,823) Less: Allocation of earnings to participating securities (200) — Income (loss) from continuing operations available to common shareholders - basic $ 4,953 $ (9,823) Basic weighted-average shares outstanding (1) 15,114 15,316 Basic earnings (loss) per share - continuing operations $ 0.33 $ (0.64) Diluted earnings (loss) per share: Income (loss) from continuing operations available to common shareholders - basic $ 4,953 $ (9,823) Add: Undistributed earnings reallocated to unvested shareholders 2 — Income (loss) from continuing operations available to common shareholders - basic $ 4,955 $ (9,823) Basic weighted-average shares outstanding (1) 15,114 15,316 Effect of dilutive securities: Stock options (2) 6 — Directors' stock performance units (2) 130 — Diluted weighted-average shares outstanding (1)(2) 15,250 15,316 Diluted earnings (loss) per share - continuing operations $ 0.32 $ (0.64) (1) Includes Common and Class B Common shares, excluding 669 and 360 unvested participating securities, in thousands, for 2021 and 2020, respectively. (2) Shares issuable under stock option plans where the exercise price is greater than the average market price of the Company's Common Stock during the relevant period and directors' stock performance units have been excluded to the extent they are anti-dilutive. Aggregate shares excluded were 4 in 2021 and 281 in 2020.

Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]
STOCK PLANS AND STOCK COMPENSATION EXPENSE	STOCK PLANS AND STOCK COMPENSATION EXPENSE The Company recognizes compensation expense relating to share-based payments based on the fair value of the equity instrument issued and records such expense in selling and administrative expenses in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations. The number of shares to be issued is determined by dividing the specified dollar value of the award by the market value per share on the grant date. The Company's stock compensation expense (credit) was $477 in 2021 and $431 in 2020. 2016 Incentive Compensation Plan On May 3, 2016, the Company's shareholders' approved and adopted the Company's 2016 Incentive Compensation Plan (the "2016 Incentive Compensation Plan") which provides for the issuance of a maximum of 800,000 shares of Common Stock and/or Class B Common Stock for the grant of options, and/or other stock-based or stock-denominated awards to employees, officers, directors, and agents of the Company and its participating subsidiaries. The 2016 Incentive Compensation Plan and the allocation of shares thereunder superseded and replaced The Dixie Group, Inc. Stock Awards Plan, as amended (the "2006 Plan") and the allocation of shares thereunder. The 2006 Plan was terminated with respect to new awards. Awards previously granted under the 2006 Plan continue to be governed by the terms of that plan and are not affected by its termination. On May 6, 2020, the board approved an amendment of the Company's 2016 Incentive Compensation Plan to increase the original number of shares by an additional 500,000. 2006 Stock Awards Plan The Company had a Stock Awards Plan, ("2006 Plan"), as amended, which provided for the issuance of up to 1,800,000 shares of Common Stock and/or Class B Common Stock as stock-based or stock-denominated awards to directors of the Company and to salaried employees of the Company and its participating subsidiaries. Restricted Stock Awards Each executive officer has the opportunity to earn a Primary Long-Term Incentive Award of restricted stock and separately receive an award of restricted stock denominated as “Career Shares.” The number of shares issued, if any, is based on the market price of the Company’s Common Stock at the time of grant of the award, subject to a $5.00 per share minimum value. Primary Long-Term Incentive Awards vest over three years. For participants over age 60, Career Shares awards fully vest when the participant becomes (i) qualified to retire from the Company and (ii) has retained such shares two years following the grant date. For the participants under age 60, Career Shares vest ratably over five years beginning on the participant's 61st birthday. On February 1, 2021, the Company issued 22,000 shares of restricted stock to certain key employees. The grant-date fair value of the awards was $86, or $3.89 per share, and is expected to be recognized as stock compensation expense over a weighted-average period of 2.5 years from the date the awards were granted. Each award is subject to a continued service condition. The fair value of each share of restricted stock awarded was equal to the market value of a share of the Company's Common Stock on the grant date. On March 10, 2021, the Company issued 325,680 shares of restricted stock to certain key employees. The grant-date fair value of the awards was $984, or $3.02 per share, and is expected to be recognized as stock compensation expense over a weighted-average period of 5.3 years from the date the awards were granted. Each award is subject to a continued service condition. The fair value of each share of restricted stock awarded was equal to the market value of a share of the Company's Common Stock on the grant date. Restricted stock activity for the two years ended are summarized as follows: Number of Shares Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value Outstanding at December 28, 2019 461,423 4.30 Granted 131,867 1.00 Vested (233,639) 3.90 Outstanding at December 26, 2020 359,651 $ 3.35 Granted 387,680 $ 3.11 Vested (70,509) $ 1.84 Forfeited (7,477) $ 3.40 Outstanding at December 25, 2021 669,345 $ 3.34 As of December 25, 2021, unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock was $1,337. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 6.5 years. The total fair value of shares vested was approximately $243 and $241 during 2021 and 2020, respectively. Stock Performance Units The Company's non-employee directors receive an annual retainer of $18 in cash and $18 in value of Stock Performance Units (subject to a $5.00 minimum per unit). If market value at the date of the grants is above $5.00 per share; there is no reduction in the number of units issued. However, if the market value at the date of the grants is below $5.00, units will be reduced to reflect the $5.00 per share minimum. Upon retirement, the Company issues the number of shares of Common Stock equivalent to the number of Stock Performance Units held by non-employee directors at that time. As of December 25, 2021, 130,320 Stock Performance Units were outstanding under this plan. As of December 25, 2021, there was no unrecognized compensation cost related to Stock Performance Units. Stock Options Options granted under the Company's 2006 Plan and the 2016 Plan were exercisable for periods determined at the time the awards are granted. Effective 2009, the Company established a $5.00 minimum price for calculating the number of options to be granted. On May 30, 2017, the Company granted 203,000 options with a market condition to certain key employees of the Company at a weighted-average exercise price of $4.30. The grant-date fair value of these options was $306. These options vest over a two-year period and require the Company's stock to trade at or above $7.00 for five consecutive trading days after the two-year period and within five years of issuance to meet the market condition. The fair value of each option was estimated on the date of grant using a lattice model. Expected volatility was based on historical volatility of the Company's stock, using the most recent period equal to the expected life of the options. The risk-free interest rate was based on the U.S. Treasury yield for a term equal to the expected life of the option at the time of grant. The Company uses historical exercise behavior data of similar employee groups to determine the expected lives of options. No options were granted during the years ended December 25, 2021 and December 26, 2020. Option activity for the two years ended is summarized as follows: Number of Shares Weighted-Average Exercise Price Weighted-Average Remaining Contractual Life (in years) Weighted-Average Fair Value of Options Granted During the Year Outstanding at December 28, 2019 166,000 4.33 — — Granted — — — — Exercised — — — — Forfeited (15,000) 4.17 — — Outstanding at December 26, 2020 151,000 4.35 1.40 — Granted — — — — Exercised — — — — Forfeited (10,000) 4.17 — — Outstanding at December 25, 2021 141,000 $ 4.36 0.40 $ — Options exercisable at: December 26, 2020 — — — — December 25, 2021 — — — — At December 25, 2021, there was no intrinsic value of outstanding stock options and no intrinsic value of exercisable stock options. At December 25, 2021, there was no unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock options.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Commitments The Company had purchase commitments of $375 at December 25, 2021, primarily related to machinery and equipment. The Company enters into fixed-price contracts with suppliers to purchase natural gas to support certain manufacturing processes in prior years. The Company had no contract purchases in 2021 or 2020. At December 25, 2021, the Company has no commitments to purchase natural gas for 2022. Contingencies The Company assesses its exposure related to legal matters, including those pertaining to product liability, safety and health matters and other items that arise in the regular course of its business. If the Company determines that it is probable a loss has been incurred, the amount of the loss, or an amount within the range of loss, that can be reasonably estimated will be recorded. Environmental Remediation The Company accrues for losses associated with environmental remediation obligations when such losses are probable and estimable. Remediation obligations are accrued based on the latest available information and are recorded at undiscounted amounts. The Company regularly monitors the progress of environmental remediation. If studies indicate that the cost of remediation has changed from the previous estimate, an adjustment to the liability would be recorded in the period in which such determination is made. (See Note 21). Legal Proceedings We have been sued, together with 3M Company and approximately 30 other named defendants and unnamed "fictitious defendants" including various carpet manufacturers and suppliers, in four lawsuits whereby the plaintiffs seek monetary damages and injunctive relief related to the manufacture, supply, and/or use of certain chemical products in the manufacture, finishing, and treatment of carpet products in the Dalton, Georgia area. These chemical products allegedly include without limitation perflourinated compounds ("PFC") such as perflourinated acid ("PFOA") and perfluorooctane sulfonate ("PFOS"). In each lawsuit, the plaintiff(s) alleged that, as a consequence of these actions, these chemical compounds have discharged or leached into the water systems around Dalton and then flow into the waters in or near the water bodies from which the plaintiff(s) draw for drinking water. Two of these lawsuits were filed in Alabama. The first lawsuit in Alabama was filed on September 22, 2016 by The Water Works and Sewer Board of the City of Gadsden (Alabama) in the Circuit Court of Etowah County, Alabama (styled The Water Works and Sewer Board of the City of Gadsden v. 3M Company, et al., Civil Action No. 31-CV-2016-900676.00). The second lawsuit in Alabama was filed on May 15, 2017 by The Water Works and Sewer Board of the Town of Centre (Alabama) in the Circuit Court of Cherokee County, Alabama (styled The Water Works and Sewer Board of the Town of Centre v. 3M Company, et al., Civil Action No. 13-CV- 2017-900049.00). These lawsuits have been settled upon payment to the plaintiff of a sum deemed to be immaterial. Both lawsuits have been dismissed. The other two lawsuits were filed in Georgia. The first lawsuit in Georgia was filed on November 19, 2019 by the City of Rome (Georgia) in the Superior Court of Floyd County, Georgia (styled The City of Rome, Georgia v. 3M Company, et al., No. 19CV02405JFL003). The second lawsuit in Georgia was originally filed on November 26, 2019 and is presented as a class action lawsuit by and on behalf of a class of persons who obtain drinking water from the City of Rome, Georgia and the Floyd County Water Department (and similarly situated persons) (generally, for these purposes, residents of Floyd County) (styled Jarrod Johnson v. 3M Company, et al., Civil Action No. 19-CV-02448-JFL-003) (the "Class Action Lawsuit"). On January 10, 2020, the Class Action Lawsuit was removed to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, Rome Division (styled Jarrod Johnson v. 3M Company, et al Civil Action No. 4:20-CV-0008-AT). We agreed to settle and obtain dismissal of these lawsuits shortly after the end of the third quarter of 2021 upon payment of a sum to the plaintiff in the City of Rome matter. We deem the sum of the settlement to be immaterial to the Company. Delivery of the settlement agreement and dismissal of each of the matters is pending.

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]
FACILITY CONSOLIDATION AND SEVERANCE EXPENSES, NET	FACILITY CONSOLIDATION AND SEVERANCE EXPENSES, NET 2015 Corporate Office Consolidation Plan In April 2015, the Company's Board of Directors approved the Corporate Office Consolidation Plan, to cover the costs of consolidating three of the Company's existing leased divisional and corporate offices to a single leased facility located in Dalton, Georgia. The Company paid a fee to terminate one of the leased facilities, did not renew a second facility and vacated the third facility. Related to the vacated facility, the Company recorded the estimated costs related to the fulfillment of its contractual lease obligation and on-going facility maintenance, net of an estimate of sub-lease expectations. Accordingly, if the estimates differ, the Company would record an additional charge or benefit, as appropriate. Costs related to the consolidation included the lease termination fee, contractual lease obligations and moving costs. The plan is now substantially complete. 2017 Profit Improvement Plan During the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company announced a Profit Improvement Plan to improve profitability through lower cost and streamlined decision making and aligning processes to maximize efficiency. The plan included consolidating the management of the Company's two former commercial brands, Atlas Carpet Mills and Masland Contract, under one management team, sharing operations in sales, marketing, product development and manufacturing. Specific to this plan, the Company had focused nearly all commercial solution dyed make-to-order production in its Atmore, Alabama operations where the Company has developed such make-to-order capabilities over the last 5 years. Further, the Company aligned its west coast production facilities, better utilizing its west coast real estate by moving production to its Santa Ana, California and Atmore, Alabama operations to more efficiently distribute its west coast products. Furthermore, the Company re-configured its east coast distribution facilities to provide more efficient distribution of its products. In addition, the Company realized reductions in related support functions such as accounting and information services. The plan is now substantially complete. 2020 COVID-19 Continuity Plan As the extent of the COVID-19 pandemic became apparent, the Company implemented a continuity plan to maintain the health and safety of associates, preserve cash, and minimize the impact on customers. The response has included restrictions on travel, implementation of telecommuting where appropriate and limiting contact and maintaining social distancing between associates and with customers. In line with demand, running schedules have been reduced for most facilities to one shift while simultaneously reducing inventories to align them with the lower customer demand. Cost reductions have been implemented including cutting non-essential expenditures, reducing capital expenditures, rotating layoffs and furloughs, selected job eliminations and temporary salary reductions. The Company has also deferred new product introductions and reduced sample and marketing expenses for 2020. Initiatives were taken with suppliers, lenders and landlords to extend payment terms in the second quarter for existing agreements. The Company is taking advantage of payment deferrals and credits related to payroll taxes under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security ("CARES") Act as well as deferring payments into its defined contribution retirement plan. The CARES Act also provides for an employee retention credit, which is a refundable tax credit against certain employment taxes of up to $5 per employee for eligible employers. The tax credit is equal to 50% of qualified wages paid to employees, capped at $10 of qualified wages per employee throughout the year. The Company qualified for the tax credit in the second, third and fourth quarters of 2020 and recognized $2,100 in the fourth quarter of 2020, related to the Employee Retention Credit. Of the $2,100 credit, $1,500 million was recorded to Cost of Sales and the remaining $600 was recorded to Selling and Administrative Expenses. Costs related to the facility consolidation plans are summarized as follows: As of December 25, 2021 Accrued Balance at December 26, 2020 2021 Expenses (1) 2021 Cash Payments Accrued Balance at December 25, 2021 Total Costs Incurred to Date Total Expected Costs Corporate Office Consolidation Plan $ — $ — $ — $ — $ 835 $ 835 Profit Improvement Plan 104 253 357 — 10,525 10,525 COVID-19 Continuity Plan 454 2 378 78 2,533 2,533 Total All Plans $ 558 $ 255 $ 735 $ 78 $ 13,893 $ 13,893 Asset Impairments $ — $ — $ — $ — $ 3,323 $ 3,323 Accrued Balance at December 28, 2019 2020 Expenses (1) 2020 Cash Payments Accrued Balance at December 26, 2020 Corporate Office Consolidation Plan $ 38 6 44 — Profit Improvement Plan 305 $ 1,376 $ 1,577 104 COVID-19 Continuity Plan — $ 2,370 $ 1,916 454 Total All Plans $ 343 $ 3,752 $ 3,537 $ 558 Asset Impairments $ — $ — $ — $ — (1) Costs incurred under these plans are classified as "facility consolidation and severance expenses, net" in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Discontinued Operations

Discontinued Operations	12 Months Ended

Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract]
Discontinued Operations	DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS The Company has either sold or discontinued certain operations that are accounted for as "Discontinued Operations" under applicable accounting guidance. Discontinued operations are summarized as follows: Fiscal Year 2021 2020 Workers' compensation costs from former textile operations $ (172) $ (60) Environmental remediation costs from former textile operations (146) (60) Commercial business operations (3,308) 1,569 Income (Loss) from discontinued operations, before taxes $ (3,626) $ 1,449 Income tax expense (89) 834 Income (Loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax $ (3,537) $ 615 Workers' compensation costs from former textile operations Undiscounted reserves are maintained for the self-insured workers' compensation obligations related to the Company's former textile operations. These reserves are administered by a third-party workers' compensation service provider under the supervision of Company personnel. Such reserves are reassessed on a quarterly basis. Pre-tax cost incurred for workers' compensation as a component of discontinued operations primarily represents a change in estimate for each period from unanticipated medical costs associated with the Company's obligations. Environmental remediation costs from former textile operations Reserves for environmental remediation obligations are established on an undiscounted basis. The Company has an accrual for environmental remediation obligations related to discontinued operations of $1,913 as of December 25, 2021 and $1,924 as of December 26, 2020. The liability established represents the Company's best estimate of possible loss and is the reasonable amount to which there is any meaningful degree of certainty given the periods of estimated remediation and the dollars applicable to such remediation for those periods. The actual timeline to remediate, and thus, the ultimate cost to complete such remediation through these remediation efforts, may differ significantly from the Company's estimates. Pre-tax cost for environmental remediation obligations classified as discontinued operations were primarily a result of specific events requiring action and additional expense in each period. Commercial business operations In accordance with the Asset Purchase Agreement dated September 13, 2021, the Company sold assets that include certain inventory, certain items of machinery and equipment used exclusively in the Commercial Business, and related intellectual property for a purchase price of $20,500. The Purchaser also assumed the liability to fulfill the orders represented by advance customer deposit liabilities of $3,127. The Company retained the Commercial Business’ cash deposits, all accounts receivable, and certain inventory and equipment. Additionally, the Company agrees not to compete with the specified commercial business and the Atlas|Masland markets for a period of five years following September 13, 2021. The agreement allows for the Company to sell the commercial inventory retained by the company after the divestiture. At closing, $2,100 of the proceeds were withheld and deposited in escrow to cover any claims arising with respect to the Commercial business for which the Company may be liable. The $2,100 was agreed to be released to the Company (net of claims paid, if any) in two installments with 50% of the escrow paid in 90 days from closing and the remaining amount paid 18 months from the closing date. The Company has received payment of the first installment and, at year end 2021, the remaining unpaid portion of $1,025 is recognized within non-current assets. As of December 25, 2021, the Company has not recognized amounts for potential indemnification settlements as those amounts cannot be reasonably estimated. In order to release liens on certain fixed assets included in the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company placed $2,100 in cash collateral in an account with the lender (Greater Nevada Credit Union). The remaining proceeds were applied to the Company's debt with its senior credit facility (Fifth Third Bank). The gain on the sale of assets is summarized as follows: Net Proceeds, including escrowed funds $ 20,500 Inventory, net (9,195) Fixed Assets (2,278) Contract Liabilities 3,127 Net tangible assets sold (8,346) Gain on sale of assets sold, prior to other transaction related costs 12,154 Other transaction related costs Adjustments to Accruals, Reserves and Allowances (8,462) 1 Transaction Costs (1,032) 2 Total other transaction related costs (9,494) Gain on sale of discontinued operations, before tax 2,660 1) For the remaining retained commercial inventory and fixed assets, the Company recognized adjustment to recognize the effects of the transaction. For inventory, the Company recognized lower of cost or market adjustments of approximately $6,600. The Company’s remaining fixed assets will be disposed of by sale and the Company recognized an adjustment of approximately $1,800 to reflect the lower of its carrying value or estimated fair value less cost to sell. For these assets, the Company has suspended the associated depreciation and will recognize changes in the fair value less cost to sell as gains or losses in future periods until the date of sale. 2) Transaction costs were legal expenses and involuntary employee termination costs related to one-time benefit arrangements. The Company reclassified the following assets and liabilities for discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets: As of December 25, 2021 December 26, 2020 Current Assets of Discontinued Operations: Receivables, net $ 3,406 $ 5,648 Inventories, net 1,927 17,499 Prepaid expenses 658 317 Current Assets Held for Discontinued Operations 5,991 23,464 Long Term Assets of Discontinued Operations: Property, plant and equipment, net 292 4,999 Operating lease right of use assets 242 923 Other assets 2,218 2,584 Long Term Assets Held for Discontinued Operations 2,752 8,506 Current Liabilities of Discontinued Operations: Accounts payable 2,133 3,952 Accrued expenses 3,062 7,316 Current portion of operating lease liabilities 167 234 Current Liabilities Held for Discontinued Operations 5,362 11,502 Long Term Liabilities of Discontinued Operations Operating lease liabilities 75 774 Other long term liabilities 4,413 5,534 Long Term Liabilities Held for Discontinued Operations $ 4,488 $ 6,308 For the twelve months ended December 25, 2021 and December 26, 2020, the Company reclassified the following operations of the Commercial business included in discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations: Twelve Months Ended December 25, 2021 December 26, 2020 Net Sales $ 48,070 $ 65,070 Cost of sales 40,904 45,945 Gross Profit 7,166 19,125 Selling and administrative expenses 13,134 17,556 Discontinued Income (Loss), related to the divestiture of the Commercial business (5,968) 1,569 Gain on sale of business (2,660) — Income (Loss) from Discontinued Commercial Operations before Taxes (3,308) 1,569 As a result of the liquidation of inventory sold as part of the divestiture of its Commercial operations, the company recognized a liquidation of LIFO inventories carried at prevailing costs established in prior years and decreased the cost within Discontinued Operations in the amount of $3,174.

Summary of Significant Accoun_2

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 25, 2021
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Principals of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of The Dixie Group, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the "Company"). Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements	Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates and these differences could be material.
Fiscal Year	Fiscal Year The Company ends its fiscal year on the last Saturday of December. All references herein to "2021" and "2020" mean the fiscal years ended December 25, 2021 and December 26, 2020 respectively. All years presented contained 52 weeks.
Discontinued Operations	Discontinued OperationsThe consolidated financial statements separately report discontinued operations and the results of continuing operations (See Note 21).
Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash and Cash Equivalents Highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased are reported as cash equivalents.
Market Risk	Market RiskThe Company sells carpet to floorcovering retailers, the interior design, architectural and specifier communities and supplies carpet yarn and carpet dyeing and finishing services to certain manufacturers. The Company's customers are located principally throughout the United States. As a percentage of net sales, one customer accounted for approximately 9% in 2021 and 9% in 2020. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of net sales in 2021 or 2020, nor did the Company make a significant amount of sales to foreign countries during 2021 or 2020.
Credit Risk	Credit Risk The Company grants credit to its customers with defined payment terms, performs ongoing evaluations of the credit worthiness of its customers and generally does not require collateral. Accounts receivable are carried at their outstanding principal amounts, less an anticipated amount for discounts and an allowance for doubtful accounts, which management believes is sufficient to cover potential credit losses based on historical experience and periodic evaluation of the financial condition of the Company's customers. As a percentage of customer's trade accounts receivable, one customer accounted for approximately 20% in 2021 and 23% in 2020. Notes receivable are carried at their outstanding principal amounts, less an allowance for doubtful accounts to cover potential credit losses based on the financial condition of borrowers and collateral held by the Company.
Inventories	Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the last-in, first-out ("LIFO") method, which generally matches current costs of inventory sold with current revenues, for substantially all inventories.
Property, Plant and Equipment	Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at the lower of cost or impaired value. Provisions for depreciation and amortization of property, plant and equipment have been computed for financial reporting purposes using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, ranging from 10 to 40 years for buildings and improvements, and 3 to 10 years for machinery and equipment. Costs to repair and maintain the Company's equipment and facilities are expensed as incurred. Such costs typically include expenditures to maintain equipment and facilities in good repair and proper working condition.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets	Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment when circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be fully recoverable. When the carrying value of the asset exceeds the value of its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized equal to the difference between the asset's carrying value and its fair value. Fair value is estimated using discounted cash flows, prices for similar assets or other valuation techniques.
Self-Insured Benefit Programs	Self-Insured Benefit Programs The Company records liabilities to reflect an estimate of the ultimate cost of claims related to its self-insured medical and dental benefits and workers' compensation. The amounts of such liabilities are based on an analysis of the Company's historical experience for each type of claim.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes The Company recognizes deferred income tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences of the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. The Company evaluates the recoverability of these future tax benefits by assessing the adequacy of future expected taxable income from all sources. In the event that the Company is not able to realize all or a portion of the deferred tax assets in the future, a valuation allowance is provided. The Company recognizes such amounts through a charge to income in the period in which that determination is made or when tax law changes are enacted. The Company accounts for uncertainty in income tax positions according to FASB guidance relating to uncertain tax positions. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, in income tax expense.
Derivative Financial Instruments	Derivative Financial Instruments The Company does not hold speculative financial instruments, nor does it hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes. The Company uses derivative instruments, currently interest rate swaps, to minimize the effects of interest rate volatility. The Company recognizes all derivatives at fair value. Derivatives that are designated as cash flow hedges are linked to specific liabilities on the Company's balance sheet. The Company assesses, both at inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged items. When it is determined that a derivative is not highly effective or the derivative expires, is sold, terminated, or exercised, the Company discontinues hedge accounting for that specific hedge instrument. Changes in the fair value of effective cash flow hedges are deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCIL") and reclassified to earnings in the same periods during which the hedge transaction affects earnings. Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are not effective cash flow hedges are recognized in results of operations.
Treasury Stock	Treasury Stock The Company classifies treasury stock as a reduction to Common Stock for the par value of such shares acquired and the difference between the par value and the price paid for each share recorded either entirely to retained earnings or to additional paid-in-capital for periods in which the Company does not have retained earnings. This presentation reflects the repurchased shares as authorized but unissued as prescribed by state statute.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition The Company derives its revenues primarily from the sale of floorcovering products and processing services. Revenues are recognized when control of these products or services is transferred to its customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those products and services. Sales, value add, and other taxes the Company collects concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. Shipping and handling fees charged to customers are reported within revenue. Incidental items that are immaterial in the context of the contract are recognized as expense. The Company does not have any significant financing components as payment is received at or shortly after the point of sale. The Company determined revenue recognition through the following steps: • Identification of the contract with a customer • Identification of the performance obligations in the contract • Determination of the transaction price • Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract • Recognition of revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied Performance Obligations For performance obligations related to residential floorcovering products, control transfers at a point in time. To indicate the transfer of control, the Company must have a present right to payment, legal title must have passed to the customer and the customer must have the significant risks and rewards of ownership. The Company’s principal terms of sale are FOB Shipping Point and FOB Destination and the Company transfers control and records revenue for product sales either upon shipment or delivery to the customer, respectively. Revenue is allocated to each performance obligation based on its relative stand-alone selling prices. Stand-alone selling prices are based on observable prices at which the Company separately sells the products or services. Variable Consideration The nature of the Company’s business gives rise to variable consideration, including rebates, allowances, and returns that generally decrease the transaction price, which reduces revenue. These variable amounts are generally credited to the customer, based on achieving certain levels of sales activity, product returns, or price concessions. Variable consideration is estimated at the most likely amount that is expected to be earned. Estimated amounts are included in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Estimates of variable consideration are estimated based upon historical experience and known trends.
Advertising Costs	Advertising CostsThe Company engages in promotional and advertising programs. Expenses relating to these programs are charged to results of operations during the period of the related benefits. These arrangements do not require significant estimates of costs. Costs related to cooperative advertising programs are normally recorded as selling and administrative expenses when the Company can reasonably identify the benefit associated with the program and can reasonably estimate that the fair value of the benefit is equal to or greater than its cost. The amount of advertising and promotion expenses included in selling and administrative expenses was not significant for the years 2021 and 2020.
Warranties	Warranties The Company generally provides product warranties related to manufacturing defects and specific performance standards for its products for a period of up to two years. The Company accrues for estimated future assurance warranty costs in the period in which the sale is recorded. The costs are included in cost of sales in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and the product warranty reserve is included in accrued expenses in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company calculates its accrual using
Cost of Sales	Cost of Sales Cost of sales includes all costs related to manufacturing the Company's products, including purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs, warehousing costs, freight costs, internal transfer costs or other costs of the Company's distribution network.
Selling and Administrative Expenses	Selling and Administrative Expenses Selling and administrative expenses include all costs, not included in cost of sales, related to the sale and marketing of the Company's products and general administration of the Company's business.
Operating Leases	Operating Leases The Company determines if an arrangement is an operating lease or a financing lease at inception. A lease exists if the Company obtains substantially all of the economic benefits of, and has the right to control the use of, an asset for a period of time. Right-of-use assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease agreement. Lease assets and obligations are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the term of the lease. Right-of-use assets may also be adjusted to reflect any prepayments made or any incentive payments received. Generally, the Company's leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit interest rate, therefore, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate, which is based on information available at the lease commencement date, to determine the present value of lease payments.
Stock-Based Compensation	Stock-Based Compensation The Company recognizes compensation expense relating to stock-based payments based on the fair value of the equity or liability instrument issued. Restricted stock grants with pro-rata vesting are expensed using the straight-line method. (Terms of the Company's awards are specified in Note 17). The Company accounts for forfeitures when they actually occur.
Accounting Standard Adopted in 2020/ Accounting Standard Yet To Be Adopted	Accounting Standards Adopted in Fiscal 2021 In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, “Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General (Subtopic 715-20) - Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans.” This update is a part of FASB’s disclosure framework project to improve the effectiveness of disclosures in the notes to financial statements. The amendments in this update modify the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. This standard is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020 and early adoption is permitted. Upon adoption, this update is to be applied on a retrospective basis to all periods presented. The adoption of this ASU did not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, "Income Taxes (ASC 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes." The standard eliminates the need for an organization to analyze whether the following apply in a given period: (1) the exception to the incremental approach for intraperiod tax allocation; (2) the exceptions to accounting for basis differences when there are ownership changes in foreign investments; and (3) the exception in interim periods income tax accounting for year-to-date losses that exceed anticipated losses. The ASU also is designed to improve financial statement preparers’ application of income tax-related guidance and simplify GAAP for (1) franchise taxes that are partially based on income, (2) transactions with a government that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill, (3) separate financial statements of legal entities that are not subject to tax, (4) enacted changes in tax laws in interim periods and (5) certain income tax accounting for employee stock ownership plans and affordable housing projects. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. See footnote 14 on Income Taxes for further information. Accounting Standards Yet to Be Adopted In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments," which amends the impairment model to utilize an expected loss methodology in place of the current incurred loss methodology, which will result in the more timely recognition of losses. For smaller reporting entities, ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The ASU, including the subsequently issued codification improvements update ("Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments," ASU 2019-04) and the targeted transition relief update ("Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326)," ASU 2019-05), is not expected to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements due to the nature of the Company's customers and the limited amount of write-offs in past years.
