Chenille cord is a type of fabric yarn made from soft, textured fibers which are typically used for decorative purposes, such as for creating rugs, pillows, and other home decor items. The texture of chenille cord is unique due to the use of short lengths of yarn that are placed between two cores yarns, resulting in a fuzzy surface reminiscent of a caterpillar - which is what chenille means in French. The cord, hence, is thick, soft, and plush, making it popular for use in crafts due to its cozy and luxurious look and feel.
