For those of us who buy the chenille on the cardboard I found another way to bring it back to life.I have read posts about holding small lengths of the crushed,flat and twisted chenille over something that produces steam so I decided to try this with a steam iron and it works great.All you do is cut the length of chenille your are going to use and put it on a flat smooth surface(ironing board).Take the heated steam iron,hit the steam button and by holding it a few inches above the chenille and going back and forth you will see the chenille un-twist and return to it's original appearance.Maby some of you already do this with the iron but if not give it a try!!
