What is another word for candlewick?
Pronunciation: [kˈandə͡lwˌɪk] (IPA) 
Candlewick is a type of fabric with a raised, tufted pattern resembling a series of small bumps or loops. Its texture resembles wick of a candle, hence the name. However, there are plenty of other words to describe this type of fabric. Corduroy, velveteen, chenille, plush, and terry cloth all have a similar raised texture. Each of these materials has unique properties that differentiate them from candlewick. Corduroy is much thicker, while velveteen has a soft and smooth finish that makes it ideal for clothing. Chenille fabric is often used for making throws and blankets, while plush feels incredibly soft to the touch. Lastly, terry cloth is absorbent and is commonly used for making towels.
