A method is disclosed for the manufacture of a novel chenille upholstery fabric and chenille decorative throw. The chenille yarn contains a continuous filament binder yarn comprising a polymer selected to have a melting point which allows melting to occur at maximum speeds either in a tenter frame or in a heat setting machine. The chenille yarn comprises a pile, a core and the continuous filament binder yarn. The chenille fabric is woven from the chenille yarn and the binder yarn is melted to bind the pile to the core. In one embodiment the melting occurs in a tenter frame during the curing of a latex backing for the fabric. In a second embodiment, the melting occurs in a heat setting machine prior to weaving. As part of both embodiments, the core is air textured together with the binder yarn.
