Cinder Chenille

A dense chenille with a fine corded rib running across the weave. The chenille yarn gives it a soft, slightly fuzzy face that catches light along the fold crests, while the rib keeps it from reading as a velvet.

It is the most forgiving upholstery cloth we sell. The broken surface hides marks and seat creasing better than a plain weave does, which is why it ends up on the sofas people actually use rather than the ones they look at.
