Chenille fabric gets its name by the way in which the fabric is manufactured. Chenille fabric is made by forming a tightly wound core for the yarn. Piles, which are short lengths of yarn, are wrapped around this core, causing its edges to stand on right angles from the centre of the fabric. It is this that gives chenille fabric its unique look, softness, and change of colour dependent on how light shines on the fabric from each direction. The yarn is commonly manufactured from cotton, but can also be made using acrylic, rayon and olefin. The word ‘chenille’ is French for ‘caterpillar’ Pb handbag tote #9
