From Wikipedia
Chenille, the
French word for
caterpillar, is typically used to describe a type of fabric used
in futon covers. Many fabrics, such as mohair and wool, get their
names from the fibers with which they are made. Chenille, however,
is named from the unique process in which it is made. The chenille
yarn is manufactured 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 yarns core, giving chenille both its softness and its
characteristic look. Chenille Futon Covers will look different in
one direction compared to another, as the fibres catch the light
differently. Chenille Futon Covers can appear
iridescent without actually using iridescent fibers. The yarn is
commonly manufactured from
cotton,
but can also be made using
acrylic,
rayon
and
olefin. All in all these futon cover are soft feeling,
beautiful, and durable.
