Chenille bedspreads are among my most favorite items to give as wedding gifts, birthdays and "Welcome to Your College Dorm". The most common sizes for vintage chenille bedspreads are twin and full. A full size chenille bedspread can easily work on a queen size bed with a dust ruffle and looks beautiful. Even chenille bedspreads that have minor flaws can be enjoyed for years to come. If they are in really bad condition they can be used as "cutters" and you can still enjoy the bedspread NOW as a pillow or a little girl's dress. The uses for chenille are limited only by the imagination.
Brief History of Chenille Bedspreads PeacockAlley
Catherine Evans revived the handcraft technique of tufting in the 1890s near Dalton. Tufted bedspreads consisted of cotton sheeting to which designs with raised "tufts" of thick yarn were applied. These tufted bedspreads were often referred to as chenille products. Chenille, the French word for "caterpillar," is generally used to describe fabrics that have a thick pile. By the 1920s tufted bedspreads appeared on the shelves of department stores in Atlanta, New York, Philadelphia, and other major cities. Merchants organized a vast "putting out" system to fill the growing demand. They established "spread houses," usually small warehouses (or homes) where patterns were stamped onto sheets. Men called haulers would then deliver the stamped sheets and yarn to thousands of rural homes. Families then sewed in the patterns. The hauler would pick up the spreads, pay the tufters and return the products to the spread houses for finishing. Finishing involved washing the spreads in hot water to shrink them and lock in the yarn tufts. The tufted spreads could also be dyed in a variety of colors. By the 1930s clotheslines bearing chenille bedspreads lined U.S. Highway 41 through Dalton and other small communities in northwest Georgia. Tourists on their way to Florida often stopped and bought these spreads, sometimes believing them to be examples of authentic American folk crafts. Of the many designs adorning the spreads, the most popular among tourists was the peacock. This section of Highway 41 became known as "Peacock Alley".
