Chenille drapes are a stylish way to bring energy efficiency to your window.
Chenille drapes are made of Chenille fabric. The word “Chenille” comes from the French language, and means caterpillar. Chenille is not a specific kind of clothing fiber, but rather describes a manufacturing process. Chenille yarn is made from taking short lengths of yarn, known as “pile,” and placing them between two other pieces of yarn. These yarn lengths are then twisted together. The edges of the central pile yarn comes out at right angles from the core yarn, and this is the quality of Chenille yarn that gives it its distinct look and such a soft quality. Chenille drapes often look different based on the angle at which you are standing from them because their appearance varies with how the light catches the fibres.
