Velvet is a special type of fabric which is woven where the threads which are cut are distributed evenly as a shortened dense pile giving velvet a distinctive feel. It can be made from either synthetic or natural fibres. Velvet Fabric is woven by the help of a special loom that weaves two thickness of the material simultaneously. The pieces are cut apart which creates a pile effect and the two lengths of the fabric are wound on separate take-up rolls.
Velvet fabric can be made of several different fibres and one of them is silk. Velvet can be made as a mixture of rayon and silk. Cotton is also sometimes used to make velvet fabric. Linen, mohair and wool can also be used to manufacture velvet and more recently polyester, nylon, viscose and acetate have been used to make velvet either as different synthetics or from combined synthetic and natural fibres. At certain times spandex can be added to give the final material a stretch feeling.
Velvet fabric has been associated with nobility due to its texture which is soft and rich in appearance. Velvet has many advantages:
