The textured and extravagant pile of Chenille gives new meaning to traditional Saxony style. Pile height, density and the semi worsted construction of Chenille is a delicate balance of craftsmanship. This is critical not only to the initial appearance, but also to the lasting good looks of a saxony. The polyester used in Chenille is a specialised fibre, highly suitable for Saxonies, because of the superb tip - definition it achieves. Chenille is what is often called a "stepless saxony", with a textured pile to loose those shaded footstep marks which are so evident in plain saxonies and velours.
