chenilles
Soft tufted threads
Chenilles is the plural of chenille, a soft, fuzzy yarn or fabric with a velvety pile.
The texture comes from short threads projecting at right angles from a core strand, creating a caterpillar-like appearance.
Chenille appears in sweaters, blankets, bedspreads, and upholstery: The couch was covered in worn chenilles.
