101 Ways to Use a Chenille Bedspread

What is Chenille? Chenille is actually the French word for caterpillar. Most fabrics get their names from the fibers used, chenille is named from the unique process for which it is made: by placing short lengths of yarn, called the "pile", between two "core yarns" and then twisting the yarn together. The edges of these piles then stand at right angles from the yarn’s core, giving chenille both its softness and its characteristic look.

This is what comes to my mind when I hear the word chenille...

  3. I love chenille. I have four or five large vintage bedspreads, I use them everywhere. I have made a slipcover for one armchair, thrown one over a couch and tucked it in and one on my guestroom bed. I like the images you have here! They are gorgeous.
    Hugs, Cindy
