SYS/SB Chenille

Hello everyone!

This time, I'd like to introduce flame-retardant chenille yarn made with SYS and SB threads.

Here it is!

It's a little different from the chenille yarn you might have used in crafts at kindergarten, preschool, or elementary school. The chenille yarn you used back then probably had wire inside, but this one, of course, doesn't.

However, the shape is exactly the same. It has a fluffy, hair-like appearance.

This is chenille yarn made with SYS for the core thread and binding thread, and SB for the embellishment thread.

Because SB is used for the embellishment thread, it has a glossy finish.

The available thread counts are 1/4.3 and 1/5.5.

Let me briefly explain the structure of chenille yarn.

As you can see in this image, when you disassemble chenille yarn, two threads come out.

Chenille yarn is made by twisting two threads together and inserting "embellishment thread" in the gap between them.

The "pressing thread" is, as the name suggests, the thread that holds the "core thread" and "flower thread" in place. It should be easy to understand.

The "flower thread" is attached to the "core thread," and although it might be slightly difficult to see, the single thread in the center is the "core thread."

The fluffy, fuzzy part is called the "flower thread."

The reason why so much of the "flower thread" is attached to the "core thread" is because there's actually another special thread inside.

This is called "heat-fusible thread," and it melts when set with high heat, acting as an adhesive. Because this "heat-fusible thread" is what holds the "core thread" and "flower thread" together, when disassembled, the "pressing thread" comes off cleanly, while the "flower thread" remains attached to the "core thread."

To summarize again:

Chenille yarn is composed of four threads.

1. Core thread 2. Flower thread 3. Pressing thread 4. Heat-fusible thread

The core thread and flower thread are joined together with heat-fusible thread, and then secured with pressing thread to create chenille yarn.

Overseas chenille yarns often use strong twisting instead of heat-fusible thread, and the flower threads are often secured entirely by the pressure of the pressing thread.

We offer a variety of decorative yarns, including chenille yarn, not just Kanekalon and Protex, so please feel free to inquire!
