Chenille FabricChenille fabric has a fur-like texture, which is created by weaving the warp thread in groups. It is made of cotton, silk or wool and is similar to velvet. The fabric has beautiful appearance and is soft. This has made it a fancy fabric and is preferred by fabric designers. The pile of the fabric is not flat, so it reflects and absorbs light in varying degrees. It is known as shading and mottled effect, which is found to some extent in all items of chenille fabric.

The word 'Chenille' has been taken from a French word for caterpillar because the fuzzy pile yarn looks like a caterpillar. Chenille is commercially being produced since the 1970s. Chenille was first time made by Catherine Evans in 1895 when after being inspired by a family heirloom, made her first hand-tufted chenille bedspread. Five years later, she sold hand-tufted chenille spread for $2.50. Later with further demand, Evans Manufacturing Company was established in 1917.
