Shop Chenille Upholstery Fabric by the Yard

Chenille fabric is a woven textile with a soft, fuzzy surface created by wrapping short lengths of yarn—known as pile—around a core fiber. This unique construction gives it a velvety, caterpillar-like texture (in fact, "chenille” means caterpillar in French). The result is a fabric that's not only cozy and visually rich, but also strong enough for furniture and home décor applications.

Why Choose Chenille Fabric for Upholstery?

Chenille upholstery fabric is highly regarded for its touchable softness, subtle sheen, and luxurious appeal.

Plus, it's versatile enough to suit a wide variety of design aesthetics—from traditional to transitional to contemporary.

From beginner-friendly projects like throw pillows and ottomans to advanced upholstery work on full-sized sofas and window treatments, chenille fabric adapts beautifully to projects of all sizes.
