VINTAGE CHENILLE BEDSPREAD Photo via the Mulberry Cottage. Vintage chenille bedspreads first appeared on the American landscape in the early twentieth century as a hand made folk art item bought by northern tourists traveling south. The popularity of chenille bedspreads continued to grow country wide until they were a mass produced marketing and cultural phenomenon bythe 1950’s.
Vintage chenille bedspreads are highly prized now, long after they’ve went out of production. At the risk of sounding cliché, these tufted bed covers remind us of a happier, simpler time. The good news is that there are plenty of reproduction and real vintage chenille bedspreads in the marketplace.

Much of the value in owning a vintage chenille bedspread is in understanding a little bit of the history behind it…… A HISTORY OF VINTAGE CHENILLE BEDSPREADS The phenomenon of chenille bedspreads in the early twentieth century evolved from the art of candlewicking. Candlewicking was a form of embroidery prevalent in the American colonies where the cotton thread that was used for the wicks in candles was also used to make designson bedcovers.
Generally, the candlewick thread would be left in its original white cotton state and stitched into a white cotton sheet. This type of embroidery died out by the mid nineteenth century. Detail of a vintage candlewick bedspread Chenille bedspreads, as we came to know them in the twentieth century, were originally developed by a young lady from Dalton, Georgia namedCATHERINE EVANS .
As a young girl in 1892, she visited a relative in McCuffy, GA who owned a vintage candlewicked spread. Upon her return home, Miss Evans sets out to create an imitation of the candlewicked spread she saw using the type of yarn available in her area at the time. DETAIL OF A LOVELY CABIN CRAFTS VINTAGE CHENILLE BEDSPREAD VIA CRAFTSCRAFTYDEB ON EBAY Catherine Evans continues to perfect her craft, hand-tufting each spread. She gave one to her sister-in-law as a wedding gift and it made quite a splash on family and friends. Through word of mouth, Miss Evans began selling her hand tufted spreads at $2.50 apiece. At this point it is worth noting how this form of tufting came to be called “chenille”. Chenille is the French word for caterpillar. Very often the tufts in a chenille bedspread are cut from the top to give them that fuzzy look and feeling like a caterpillar. Not all chenille bedspreads are cut loop like this though. The non-cut loop spreads are often referred to as needle-tuft which more closely resemble candlewicking. Nonetheless, the name chenille (caterpillar) stuck for posterity.

Catherine soon became overwhelmed by the demand for her chenille bedspreads so she begins hiring and showing others how to make them thus creating a cottage industry in Northwest Georgia. Crown Cotton Mill, which began operations in Dalton in 1885, provides much of the material for the local bedspread activity. By 1910, dozens of women were making chenille bedspreads around Dalton, GA and many of them would display their handiwork by the roadside along Old Highway 41, a.k.a. Dixie Highway. Because people could travel down this thoroughfare on any given day and see mile after mile of colorfully tufted chenille bedspreads, it became known as Peacock Alley. In 1917, Addie Evans, the sister-in-law who received the chenille bedspread as a wedding gift, started the first chenille bedspread manufacturing company named Evans Manufacturing. By then, Catherine and Addie had developed a stamping method whereby patterns were stamped onto the sheets prior to tufting. INTERLOCKING RINGS ON A WEDDING RING CHENILLE BEDSPREAD VIA JUDY CHENILLES LINENS BOUTIQUE ON EBAY By 1920, the bedspreads were still being hand tufted but then people began altering sewing machines to tuft the bedspreads. More and more households began their own little chenille bedspread tufting business. Chenille bedspread making grew exponentially during the roaring 20’s. During the Great Depression, it remained a viable industry which provided income for many who had saw their prior livelihood disappear. From World War II through the 1960’s, chenille bedspread making is in it`s heyday. Companies like Cabin Craft in Dalton sprang up which develop machinery to make chenille bedspreads even faster while still maintaining the original vintage look. While there are dozens of family run chenille tufting businesses in around Dalton, larger companies in other parts of the country also get in on the action: Morgan Jones, Bates, and Hofmann in particular.

As always, fashions fall out and new ones take their place. Chenille bedspread making which we refer to as the vintage kind lasted for about 60 years. Peacock Alley disappeared after 1965 when Interstate-75 was built bypassing Highway 41 and chenille bedspread making vanished with it. RETRO CHENILLE BRANDS:* BATES

CHENILLE SIZES
Vintage chenille bedspreads were made at a time when king and queen size beds were not nearly as common as they are now so it may be a little challenging to find the size that you need but it’s not impossible. The best approach is to take measurements of the length and width of your bed and purchase the bedspread that has the dimensions closest to your need. When measuring the width, start on one side of the bed where you want the spread to fall then go over and across to where you want to fall on the other side. General measurement guidelines are as follows: * King 76’W x 80’L * Queen 60’W x 80’L * Full 53’W x 75’L * Twin 38’W x 75’LBUYING CHENILLE
One of the best ways to find a wide variety of vintage chenille bedspreads is to visit an online auction site such as eBay. However, there are certain things one must look for in order to have a satisfactory purchase. First, look for pictures, plenty of pictures. There should be at least one shot that shows the entire spread, top to bottom, side to side. There should also be several close up shots showing different segments of the spread. These will also give you a better idea as to the condition and quality. If you are looking for specific maker of chenille bedspread, then the seller should offer a picture that shows the tag showing the maker’s name whether it be Cabin Crafts, Bates, Morgan Jones, Hofmann, etc. Without a tag, there is no true verification of the maker. Ask plenty of questions. Ask if there are blemishes. The seller should already be showing close ups of any blemishes but ask just in case. If you need a specific size of spread, ask for dimensions or size if not already in the listing. Basically, if the pictures or description offered by the seller do not complete you buying decision, then ask the questions that will. Do not buy from a seller who doesn’t respond to your questions! Lastly, be sure to buy from someone who has a reasonable return policy and don’t forget to check the shipping rates before you commit topurchase.
NEW CHENILLE BEDSPREADS Of course, chenille bedspreads are still being manufactured due to their ongoing popularity. However, modern sellers of chenille bedspreads do not offer the wide array of designs and patterns that were available way back when. Still, if you want a chenille bedspread for everyday use, that will hold up under washing and wear, and still have that nostalgic feel, Amazon or eBay are great places to find them. Also, you’re much more likely to find a brand new spread in a king or queen size!
