I dont precut the chenille, so as to not waste any.

There are some nice videos on Youtube that show you the technique.

I don't like trimming chenille and wasting materials either, but when weaving you will need to cut it to a manageable length. Working with yards of it is an exercise in frustration.

Here's one I just did doing a granny weave. It's the easiest one I've found.
