A1: Standard corduroy is usually made from cotton or cotton-poly blends, with the pile created by cutting weft yarns. It has a distinct ribbed texture, but depending on the quality, it can feel stiff or scratchy. Our Chenille Corduroy Fabric swaps the standard yarns for chenille yarns - two plies twisted around soft feather-like fibers. This changes the surface feel completely. The fabric stays ribbed visually, but the hand-feel becomes noticeably softer, fuller, and more like velvet. If you compare them side by side, the difference is immediate.

A2: Our standard MOQ is 500 meters per color. That works well for furniture manufacturers and medium-to-large apparel runs. But we also keep a selection of popular colors in stock, and for those we can accept orders starting from 100 meters. For sampling, we send A4-sized cuttings at no charge. If you need a full color ring, we can ship it out within 24 hours via DHL or FedEx - you just cover the courier cost.

A3: Yes, and we actually recommend it. Our Fabric has a distinct pile surface and sheen that does not show accurately on a monitor. The reds, for example, can look slightly warmer or cooler depending on the screen. We have physical swatch rings covering all 20 colors. They are free to request - you only pay the shipping fee. Most buyers find this saves time because they can match the fabric to their existing materials or design samples directly.

A4: Yes, comfortably so. At 350-450 GSM with a tight chenille pile structure, our Chenille Corduroy Fabric holds up well on sofas, sectionals, and armchairs. We have had customers use it for entire living room sets. That said, for commercial projects - hotels, restaurants, high-traffic waiting areas - we suggest talking to our technical team first. We can recommend a denser backing or adjust the weight to better suit heavy-use environments. For residential use, though, it works beautifully as-is.

A5: Our standard run is 145-160 cm usable width, with a tolerance of about 2 cm either way. For weight, we usually produce this Chenille Corduroy in the 350-450 GSM range. The exact number depends on the color and the pile height you choose - darker dyes sometimes require slight adjustments to maintain the same hand-feel. If you have a specific target weight in mind, let us know. We can adjust the yarn count and pile density to hit your number.

A6: For apparel and loose covers, we recommend turning the fabric inside out and machine washing in cold water - under 30°C - on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent, and skip bleach or fabric softener. The softener can actually flatten the chenille pile over time. Tumble dry on low heat, or hang to dry in a shaded area. If you need to iron, do it on the reverse side with a cool iron, and avoid pressing directly on the pile. For fixed upholstery, regular vacuuming with a soft brush attachment keeps dust from settling into the ribs. Spot-clean spills quickly with a damp cloth. We have had customers tell us this fabric holds up much better than they expected, even in homes with kids and pets.
