Rayon Chenille Fabric

Rayon Chenille Fabric has a lush, tufted texture and iridescent appearance. Softness and beauty aside, it offers outstanding durability and absorbency. The name for Chenille Fabric comes from the French word for caterpillar because it aims to imitate caterpillar fur. It’s crafted from wood pulp in the form of purified cellulose fiber. The pulp is converted to a soluble compound, which is then dissolved and inserted into a spinneret to form thick fibers. The fibers are then configured and twisted to give the material its characteristically iridescent look. Strong as it is beautiful, Rayon Chenille Fabric is perfect for crafting gorgeous upholstery, embroidery, trimmings and fringing.
