I recently bought a chenille sweater.  They have been hard to find and I read that they are making a comeback. They sure are soft and not itchy.  I had a couple of them some years back and I enjoyed wearing them as they could be dressed up a bit or down.  I have forgotten whether they are warm.  I am going to put a camisole underneath.  Pls advise.

My chenille sweaters are warmer than my cashmere ones

I had a few sweaters and tops which were made of chenille.  I remember them as being warm.

@toria  It all depends on the weight and weave.  I had a Calvin Klein oversized chenille sweater but it was an open weave but very warm.  Try on your cami at home and the sweater and see how you feel.

I think it is.  I have one pullover sweater and find it very toasty.

I bought a nice chenille sweater from D. & Co. probably 15years ago.  That was when the prices and quality were wonderful.  It was warm and I loved it because it didn't itch me to death.  I wish that I still had it.

I have a couple of chenille sweaters, and yes, they are warm.

Yes, chenille is warm.  I wear it in the coldest part of the winter...like right now.

Yes, they are very warm. I like the ones I got at Macys.
