What You Should Know About Solid Velvet Fabric

Update:Jun.08 2023
Solid velvet fabric is a luxurious material that was originally made from silk. Today, it is often a blend of natural and synthetic fibers.
Choose cotton velvet fabric for a drapery look, or go for silk or velveteen for eye-catching dresses and formfitting jackets. You can also try crushed velvet, which has a unique crinkle effect.
Silk velvet
Silk velvet is a luxurious fabric that's ideal for dresses and other dressmaking projects. It's also a good choice for accessories, such as jewelry and handbags. Its lustrous drape helps highlight the silhouette and creates a flattering fit. It's easy to care for, but should be dry cleaned to avoid damaging the fabric.
Velvet can be made of natural or synthetic fiber. The most common is silk, which is derived from the cocoons of silkworms. It can be blended with wool or other natural fibers for added durability and texture. It can also be woven with a plain or satin weave, and can be dyed to match other colors.
It can also be embroidered, or 'embossed', with a raised design that's usually floral or geometric. It's often used on clothing, such as jackets and skirt suits, or for furnishings, like draperies and throw pillows. It's also popular in home decorating and evokes the rich opulence of Western estates.
Polyester velvet
Polyester velvet is a durable, affordable fabric that has a soft and luxurious texture. It is often used for clothing and upholstery, and is available in a variety of colors and textures. It can also be found in drapes and window treatments. Its plush texture provides insulation and helps block out light and sound.
Velvet is a fabric that feels as good as it looks, and can transform your home into a multi-sensory experience. It can be woven in different colors and textures to suit your design, and it can also be embossed with patterns.
Look for high-quality velvet at specialty shops. They usually have a large selection of colors and textures that are not available in regular fabric stores. It’s also a good idea to read the label on your fabric, as some manufacturers use different fibers for their backing and pile. Generally, higher-quality velvet has more durability and a rub test rating that is suitable for heavy-duty use.
Velvet blends
Velvet is a luxurious fabric that feels as good as it looks. The textile’s softness makes it ideal for clothing and accessories that come into contact with skin. It also has a unique visual allure, so it is often used to make home decor items.
Real silk velvet is expensive, so manufacturers often blend it with synthetic fibers to keep the price down. These velvet fabrics are machine washable and stain-resistant. They are also highly durable and resistant to mildew.
To determine the quality of a velvet, look at how tightly it’s woven and how dense its pile is. Also, bend a sample piece on the diagonal to see how tightly the backing and pile are woven together. Lastly, pay attention to the rub test score. A velvet with a high rub test rating is more likely to be durable and last longer. This fabric can be used to make dresses, skirts and jackets. It can also be used to upholster furniture.
Care and maintenance
As with most fabrics, velvet needs occasional care and maintenance to keep it looking its best. Vacuuming is a must for upholstered velvet furniture to remove dirt and lint that can stain the fibers over time. This should be part of a weekly cleaning routine. Brushing your velvet accessories will also help to remove lint and dirt that can damage the fabric.
While old cotton or silk velvet would bruise easily and absorb stains, newer velvets are made from modern fabrics such as polyester that look as beautiful but are much harder wearing. At RAFT we use Omega polyester velvet, which is both hard-wearing and flame retardant – an excellent choice for family homes.
Regardless of what type of velvet you choose, it is important to wipe up any spills as soon as they happen to prevent water or wine from staining the fabric. If a stain does occur, gently blot it with a clean cloth or sponge using an up-and-down motion to avoid material transfer and spreading of the stain. Then, blot the affected area again with dry toweling until it is as dry as possible.
