Cardboard Holder

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!!

Thanks Led I still gotta get withyou finally catch'in up.

Just be careful to not over do it. I find that if I hold it over steam long enough to completely untwist that it may start to pull off the cotton when tying. It is hard to tell you over did it until you try tying again with it. I have ruined my share already thanks, LOL!

Thanks for the heads up Skip.I could see where it might become damaged.
