Let's Talk Chenille
Canyon Group® chenille starts with backing fabric and yarn sourced in America. Our chenille is made in Georgia, the birthplace of the chenille industry. Our dyed and finished chenille robes are sewn and unique designs are tufted onto each finished robe. Shipping from this central location, we are able to keep shipping costs down for our customers.Canyon Group® chenille is manufactured from fabric backing and yarn of a 50:50 poly cotton blend and meets the flammability standards for adult sleep-ware.
Because Canyon Chenille makes our own chenille, dyes it and tufts the unique designs, there is huge possibility for customers to either mix and match from the different body styles, vibrant colors and unique designs, or have us develop a unique color or design specifically for you. We have had our customers request that the name or establishment be put on the robe, or the name of a resort area tufted on the robe or jacket to make a unique memento.
Making Chenille
Our process
True chenille consists of a backing material and tufted with continual rows of fluffy yarn. This process is called ‘Tufting’ and is done by hundreds of needles side by side, creating a fabric with a fluffy face and row upon parallel row of yarn stitches on the back. These rows are how chenille derived its name. Chenille, French for caterpillar, connotes those rows of yarn as seen from the back. No lines of tufted yarn means not real chenille. Tufting chenille is a slow and laborious process, and many decide to neglect the process, but adopt the name. The term chenille has come to be used by many to represent any number of fluffy fabrics, regardless of their composition or process. Currently, Canyon Chenille is the only manufacturer of true chenille remaining in North America.There are two main measurements that are important to the quality and feel of chenille: gauge and knap. Gauge is the distance between needles and therefore between the rows of tufted yarn. Gauge can be used to create different looks and feel from tight gauge to have a dense, uniform finished side, to wide gauge to have the rows more distinct on the finished side. The second measurement is knap, which is the length of yarn above the fabric backing. Foreign produced chenille will have both a wide gauge and a short knap resulting in a lightweight fabric that lacks the look and feel of Canyon Group’s higher quality chenille.
Authenticity Check
How to know your Canyon Group Robe is Authentic?
If the inside of the robe does not have the embroidery stitched into the fabric its not real! All Canyon Group robes and loungewear have our signature tufting stitching in the fabric. Its a process that is difficult to replicate as it is created on vintage machines that no longer are in production. This is what makes our product so special.
