Chenille Yarn Manufacturing Machinery
topic
Chenille yarn machines create the characteristic pile-effect yarn by feeding effect fibres between two binder yarns that are twisted together, trapping the effect fibre at right angles to the core binder yarns before the assembly is cut between the binders to create the protruding pile fibres, with pile fibre length, density, and cut regularity determining the plush texture and coverage of chenille yarns for upholstery and knitwear.
Role
Produces the distinctive soft pile yarns used in upholstery fabrics, knitwear, and home textiles where the protruding fibre pile creates the velvet-like texture that cannot be achieved through weaving or knitting of conventional yarns, with chenille yarn pile uniformity, pile security, and dimensional stability governing the appearance retention of finished upholstery and decorative textile products.
