Chenille is a decorative yarn fabric made by twisting core yarn and decorative yarn together, named after the French word for "caterpillar." Its plush surface resembles a bottle brush, hence the name. It combines thickness with a lightweight feel and has rapidly expanded from traditional home textiles to the fashion apparel sector in recent years.

     Core Features of Fabric
Structure and feel: It is made by using two strands of thread as the core thread, and spinning the feather yarn (decorative yarn) in the middle through twisting. Decorative yarn accounts for 70%~75% to showcase style, while core yarn accounts for 25%~30% to provide strength. Soft to the touch, with a full velvet texture, and good drape and water absorption.
      Common materials:

Common blends in the market include viscose/nitrile, cotton/polyester, viscose/cotton, etc.

     Tips for Choosing

 Selection reference point
When choosing Chenille products, in addition to the feel, you can focus on:
Color fastness: High quality products often use active and environmentally friendly dyeing, with a color fastness of 3-4 levels, to avoid skin allergies caused by the use of inferior dyes.
Pile uniformity: Observe whether the thickness of the pile is uniform, and whether the density and weight match. The core competitiveness of sofa fabric lies in the "durability bottom line". The ability to prevent water, oil, and dirt, as well as flame retardancy and antibacterial properties, directly determines whether it can enter the commercial/high-end market.
