I think that all chenille will do that...it is the nature of the fraying process :wink: It just needs to be washed and dried several times to get the little bits all out.
You can dampen the chenille after the quilt is made...take a stiff brush to it and rub in a circular motion and it will get a lot of the threads out so that when you wash and dry it there will not be so much lint in your dryer.
