Chenille, Fine Carded

Chenilles are made by laying fibers at right angle between two threads and then twisting the threads so that the fibers radiate from the central twisted rope like core.ÊÊ The perpendicular fibers form a cylindrical fuzzy rope.Ê This rope can be wound onto a hook shank to make a bulky fuzzy body.Ê The cross fibers can be of many textures, colors and diameters.Ê The most popular chenilles incorporate fine fibers made from nylon.Ê They are soft to the touch
