USA woven Martha Washington’s Choice bedding including bedspreads, throws, and coverlets are prime examples of the finest chenille bed coverings. Still very popular in America and still made in America, candlewick bedspreads such as Martha Washington’s Choice, Spirit of America, John Adams and American Tradition can be referred to as “chenille”, “hobnail” or “terry loop” style.

This beautiful woven style has a needlework effect that produces a 3-D effect through patterns of French knots, or uncut loops forming a fabric pile. Martha Washington’s Choice bedspread is an example of terry-loop (also known as hobnail, chenille or candlewick) construction. American Tradition is a lighter weight design and more suitable for warmer climates.

Candlewicks produced by Maine Heritage Weavers, Inc., of Lewiston, Maine are some of the best money can buy. The Bates Mill Store, www.batesmillstore.com has been carrying USA made terry chenille bedspreads for over 50 years, all of which are woven in Lewiston, Maine, USA.
