What is Chenille anyway?

I've got a chenille extendable mop and wash mitt which I assume is 100% cotton. Could it be a blend of cotton/poly. or is it most likely 100% cotton? Note that these are TurtleWax products.

Thanks,

Matt

Burn a strand of it. If you get little black ***** of hard stuff in it, then it has polyester in it.

Chenille is a name for a bulky type of yarn used to make bedspreads, afghans, etc. In the old days, your grandmother used it to knit, crochet, etc. It used to be 100 % cotton, but today can be from cotton blend to 100 % rayon, poly, etc.

Like Intel says, don't assume it's all cotton!
