Chenille is a knitted fabric, which is obtained by processing two yarns of different material, one thin and robust, the other thicker and softer. Let’s discover together with Cimmino what chenille is: composition, characteristics and uses of this soft and velvety fabric, ideal for the middle seasons.
The chenille has a relatively recent origin: it made its first appearance in France around 1930, but spread from the 70s following the dictates of fashion of the time. In the past silk and wool were used, while today it is cotton that is mainly used in the processing of this fabric, as it ensures maximum safety even on the most delicate leathers. In fact, chenille is one of the most used fabrics for clothing and accessories for children. Soft and velvety, just like children’s skin, chenille is versatile and elastic, ensuring maximum comfort from the start.
Chenille garments are perfect in the middle seasons, but also in milder winters. The heaviness of the fabric is not excessive and does not involve extreme sweating, but it is enough to ensure a constant and lasting heat. Visit the Cimmino catalogue to be updated on the latest news in the sector and to discover the wide selection of fabrics suitable for every need and situation, such as chenille fabrics.
It is a fabric similar to velvet, but much softer, available in many colors: white, beige, cream, brown, green, ruby red, gray, pearl, black, light blue, pink, turquoise, mustard, fuchsia, burgundy, blue, neon orange, neon yellow, Neon green, acid green, ivory, red, midnight blue, royal blue, purple and many more. This type of fabric is very versatile and is ideal for making theatrical and carnival dresses and accessories It is also equipped with standard 100 by OEKO-TEX, a certification and control system in the field of textile raw materials, semi-finished products and finished products at all stages of processing, It allows the identification of those products which do not present any risk to the health of the consumer.
Chenille is a very delicate fabric, which is why it is recommended to wash it by hand to avoid any damage. However, it is possible to wash the chenille also in the washing machine by choosing the gentle cycle and a temperature of not more than 30°- 40°. It is preferable to use natural and non-aggressive detergents and avoid whiteners or bleaches. To protect the embroidery and decorations and to preserve the colors you must always turn the garments inside out before each wash. In the presence of stubborn stains you can use a tablespoon of baking soda dissolved in a basin of water instead of softener, which will allow the garments to be perfectly sanitized and soft. On the market there are also special stain removers, delicate and neutral, that allow you to act promptly on difficult stains.
These products are specifically formulated to be gentle on fabrics and colors. It is essential to find a product that does not contain perfume, dyes or bleach that, among other things, could also cause allergic reactions. This way, you can also eliminate grease stains, sauce, chocolate, baby food, lipstick, red wine, coffee, fruits and vegetables.
To wash the chenille onesies just follow a few simple tips. The onesies should always be put inside out, in order to protect the decorations and preserve the color. We proceed with the hand washing, using a basin or directly the sink, which we will fill with warm water. Immerse the onesies in water and gently rub any stains with Marseille Soap, then rinse with cold water. Immerse the onesies again in warm water with neutral detergent, this time leaving them to soak for 1-2 hours. To sanitize them, just add two teaspoons of baking soda to the detergent. After that, we remove the excess water by making it drain and immerse them in cold, softening water for about 10 minutes. Rinse them, wring them and let them dry spread between two towels and resting them on a table.
The upholstery of chenille sofas and armchairs is as delicate as clothing: you can wash it, but you must reserve some extra care. First of all, the fabric should never be soaked. Fill a bowl with warm water and dissolve very little mild detergent or Marseille soap. Dip the cloth in the bowl, squeeze and dab the stain. With a dry cloth, instead, press the wet area to remove excess water. If the stains persist, repeat the operation until they are completely gone. Alternatively, you can use a mixture of white vinegar and tea tree oil: you could do a test in a part of the sofa not visible, so notice the reaction.

Chiffon is a very light, transparent fabric in canvas weave and produced with crepe twist yarns.
Chiffon fabric can be composed of a wide range of fibers or their blends: natural fibers, such as cotton and silk; semi-synthetic fibers, such as rayon; synthetic fibers, such as nylon and polyester.
Let’s discover together with Cimmino the history and characteristics of this rich and fragile fabric.
The term “chiffon” comes from the French chiffe and literally means “rag, rag”, with reference not to the quality of the fabric but to the soft hand assumed by the rags used. The etymology can in fact deceive, as it is one of the most elegant fabrics in circulation. The finest quality is made of pure silk, but there are also several varieties of synthetic fibers.
The chiffon fabric is native to China, where it was produced only from silk, and arrived in Europe around 1700 for the creation of fine clothes for the upper classes. Chiffon became very popular in the 19th century with the development of decorated lingerie, so much so that there was talk of “chiffon worship”. Being initially produced only from silk, it was very expensive and served to symbolize a status of wealth and abundance. Later, with the invention of nylon, chiffon became affordable and in large quantities. The advent of polyester in 1958 then made it a very popular fabric, thanks to its cost and durability. Nowadays, it is mainly used for the making of evening dresses, blouses, wedding dresses, lingerie, costumes for dance and show and much more. Its high degree of transparency makes it often used as an overlap or as a base fabric for embroidery, beads and crystals sewn by hand.
In addition to silk, well known for its rich smooth and shiny texture, another natural fiber used in the production of chiffon is cotton, which makes the fabric more opaque and less fluctuating.
In general, the chiffon fabric is light and rough to the touch. Although it is a fairly wear-resistant cloth, it tends to fray and can be easily damaged by hot iron and steam, so be careful. Let’s see together some practical tips on how to wash and treat this delicate fabric.
Depending on the type of chiffon, there are several washing methods. The silk chiffon, being more delicate and difficult to handle, should be dry cleaned. Polyester chiffon, like all other delicate fabrics, must be washed by hand in cold water with a neutral detergent and dried in flat air, without ever wringing it out. For the synthetic chiffon you can also opt for the gentle cycle of the washing machine, taking care to insert the fabric into a mesh laundry bag. In any case, the first rule that applies to all garments is to carefully read the label on the dress.
You should never wring your head because you risk deforming it. The dress should then be dried avoiding direct sunlight and placed on a horizontal plane, so as to also avoid the formation of annoying signs that could ruin it. As already mentioned, washing in the washing machine is a hypothesis to be discarded, unless it is polyester, a synthetic fiber particularly known for its high strength. In this case, in the basket should never be added other items, especially if of other colors.
The largest distributor of high quality fabrics offers two 100% polyester Chiffon, robust and more resistant than silk, to be used in different sectors: dance and show, bride and ceremony, elegant shirts and accessories. The polyester chiffon is very versatile, available in different weights and models, and effectively resists the most stubborn stains. Let’s find out in detail what are these two fabrics!
