Chenille Fabrics
Chenille fabrics feature a short, fuzzy pile with an incredibly soft hand, perfect for cozy ensembles. With a luminous, sometimes iridescent look, Chenille is named after the French word for caterpillar, as its pile resembles a caterpillar's fur. Chenille created by twisting shorter pieces of chenille yarn in between two longer pieces. Chenille yarn is a relatively recent invention, dating back to 18th century France. Soft and shiny, chenille is the perfect fabric for slouchy sweaters and cardigans.
