Anyone ever seen this kind of chenille?

[Takeum]

Don’t know if it’s something new or something that was on the bottom of the barrel,,,, first ones flat and second one is super twisted,,,, how do I use those kinda Chenille? I’m frustrated…

If I remember right Skip had once told me you could steam lightly the chenille and help bring it back to shape. Might want to check with him for sure.

I can’t see anything wrong with the second picture. Maybe I’m missing something?

I hang mine up and let them relax and unwind. That way you don’t end up with a tangled mess.

It wastes a small bit of material, but I usually cut mine into 2 to 3 ft lengths to keep them more manageable when wrapping.

Thanks crappie for the tip

Another vote for steaming some to find out what’s gonna happen when it gets wet anyway. Top one looks big

Its easy to steam that chenille! I just take a pot on the stove top and a little water on high, let it start boiling crazy, then I hold it across the pot and let it dip into the steam and keep moving as you don't want it to really get wet, but it will start twisting and it will come back like new! Never let it get into the water!

I was thinking that was right. Thanks for confirming Skip.
