Chenille
|
| Chenille is a finish that includes a 3rd strand of fiber bundles that
stand up right from the substrate of the fabric creating a soft fuzzy feel.
This finish can be found in large or small rows similar to a corduroy or
even in woven patterns.
It is a finish that is has a very luxurious hand that can be well maintained. The Chenille finished fabrics may be comprised of any of many fiber contents or a combination blend of any 2 or more fibers. You may find it to be reasonably durable finish when specified in the
appropriate applications. However, it does not lend itself particularly
well to spot cleaning. The reason being that when moisture is or abrasive
(rubbing, scrubbing) action is applied you may change the nap or pile
lay of the 3rd strand fibers. |
