Jay Carlson, president of Nice Link Home Furnishings said that, “While we have many winners in the chenille woven category over the past seasons, its uniqueness with regard to the aesthetic look coupled with the extremely soft hand has made the Handwoven body cloth one of those ‘lightning in a bottle’ type upholstery fabrics.”

Nice Link Home Furnishings, a resource for upholstery fabric and leather, hit the 1 million-yard milestone for its Echo Essentials Handwoven chenille body cloth fabric.

Three additional colors of the hugely popular handwoven were introduced at the recent ITA Showtime, including a new organic parchment color way. Nice Link also debuted three new printed poly-velvet patterns and four new collections that Carlson said were among its strongest introductions in years.

The Vintage Remix collection is inspired by both vintage textiles and Mid-Century Modern geometrics, featuring a current mix of ethnic and contemporary designs.The Relax & Recharge collection features nature motifs such as tropical leaves and over-scaled florals complemented with more contemporary geometrics. The Global Entry collection reflects influences from around the world.The High Drama collection shows off bold contrast and saturated colors.

With several weeks left in the year, the Handwoven chenille with its chenille warp and unique slub has recorded more than a million yards sold to date in 2018.
