Chenille

Chenille is a type of fabric or material characterized by its soft, fuzzy, and plush texture, resembling a caterpillar’s body—hence the name, which means "caterpillar" in French. It’s made by wrapping thread around the core of a yarn and then brushing it to create a velvety surface. Chenille is commonly used in clothing, upholstery, and decorative items like throws and pillows because of its luxurious feel and appealing appearance. Its unique construction gives it a velvety softness and a shimmering look that adds warmth and elegance to various textiles.
