A General Overview Of A Chenille Bathrobe

By Robert Kelly


The French word for caterpillar is chenille and this is said to be the origin of this word. The fuzzy look exhibited by the fabric had a lot to contribute to that name. Around 1890, in Dalton Georgia, it is said to be the place where this yarn was invented. The information presented herein aims at teaching you a few things about a chenille bathrobe.

Previously, a single needle was employed in the production process and it is through the continuous looping of the yarn that the famous fuzzy look was achieved. As technology improved, this process was replaced by the tufted machines. Through them, the use of more needles became a possibility and this led to the commonly known fuzzy fabric we know of today.

When shopping for chenille clothing, you must always be careful since there are very many counterfeit replicas of the original fabric. Low prices are often a clear enough warning sign for these replicas. Through the concerted effort of genuine manufacturers, these cases are however being dealt with effectively.

These garments require special care during cleaning due to their tender nature. Because of this, you should machine wash your robes and carry out the rinsing on the delicate cycle in a tub full of cold water. You should never mix it with other garments during washing to prevent damages on the fabric. For softeners, a non- silicone based softener is most recommended.

The fabric should never stay in the washer for an extended amount of time since color transference is a possibility. For people wishing to maintain the quality of their robes, they are advised to dry clean them instead of machine washing. You may find that your cloth is shedding a lot of lint during washing but this is a normal occurrence.

However, this shedding is found to reduce with each subsequent wash. Amazingly, your fabric will only get softer the more it is washed. Dry cleaning is advocated for people who appear sensitive to the chenille fibres. Most chenille garments possess a color difference for the same dye color. This is not a peculiar thing because the fibres absorb the dye differently.

Chenille is wearable in all weather conditions. The heavier and longer robes are ideal for the chilly weathers. As for the warmer condition, lighter bathrobes are a perfect option. Practically all body types are catered for in the market. The high prices of these garments are expected because most of the manufacture is done by hand.

There is a general concern that most of the imported chenille poses a hazard for consumers. This is true because most of these fabrics have not been subjected to flammability tests. For storage, well sealed containers are a must have because they help prevent mice from destroying your bathrobe.
