Printed velvet fabric

What is velvet fabric?

Velvet is a beautiful fabric with a rich, deep shine. It adds a luxurious feeling to any project. But velvet material fabric is more than just a pretty face. It is incredibly soft and resistant to wear. No surprise that this fabric is making a comeback.

Velvet gets its unique qualities from how it is woven, similar to cotton and silk. All these types of fabric are made with upright loops. With velvet however, these loops are cut through. This results in many tiny hairs that give velvet its characteristic shine. When you stroke velvet, the hairs change direction, which changes the look of the velvet. This makes for a dynamic fabric that adds an extra dimension to any project.
