Chenille yarns are yarns that have a soft pile protruding from their surface. Chenille are soft,supple,and very flexible.Chenille yarns may be made from any fiber, but most commonly they are made of cotton, wool, rayon, or nylon. Chenille yarns have rather low resistance to abrasion, and their use should be avoided in products that will be subjected to even minimal fabric rubbing.
Chenille yarns are used in woven fabric to produce soft, pilelike effects on bedspreads and other decorative fabrics.
