Chenille Patches

Custom Chenille Patches With a Soft, Raised Face

Chenille patches are built with looped yarn stitched onto a fabric base, usually felt or twill. The loops stand up from the surface, so letters, numbers, and simple shapes have a soft, plush look that reads clearly from a distance.

Options We Can Discuss

Chenille works best for bold artwork. These are the main choices we can work through together.

Shape and Size

Block letters, script words, numbers, mascots, or a simple crest sized for a jacket, cap, or bag.

Border Style

A merrowed edge or an embroidered outline that frames the chenille face.

Backing

Sew-on for jackets and apparel, or iron-on and hook-and-loop style backing when the patch needs to be removable.

Yarn and Base

Chenille yarn colors on a felt or twill field, with stitched detail where the design needs eyes, outlines, or small accents.
