What Is Velvet Fabric?

Velvet is a fabric with a dense, soft, and suede texture, usually made of cotton, silk, or synthetic fibers. It is similar to pleuche and real velvet, but velvet has shorter and denser down, presenting a stronger texture. There are two types of velvet: floral velvet and plain velvet. Flower velvet refers to the process of cutting a portion of the velvet loop into fluff according to the pattern, forming a pattern together with the unbroken coil, while plain velvet has a surface entirely composed of velvet loops.

Velvet uses mulberry silk as warp yarn and cotton yarn as weft yarn for interweaving, with mulberry silk or rayon raised loops. When weaving, after weaving every four strands of yarn, a pile rod is woven into it. When the yarn reaches a certain length (about 20 centimeters), it is cut along the iron wire with a cutting knife on the machine. The iron wire separates from the fabric and becomes plush. This weaving method endows velvet with a particularly soft and rich texture, making it very comfortable to touch, while also giving the fabric a glossy and color changing effect. Velvet is often used to make high-quality clothing, home decor, and furniture. It can add a luxurious and elegant appearance to items, it is particularly popular in winter, because its density and thickness can provide good insulation performance. Meanwhile, velvet is also widely used in fields such as stage scenery, art protection, and automotive interiors.
