Velvet materials – what are their characteristics?

Velvet is a two-layer material, consisting of a substrate and fleece of dense, short threads (the ends of the thread of an additional warp or an additional weft form a characteristic mesh). It is the length of the threads that distinguishes it from plush – the length of the textile cover does not exceed 3 millimeters in the case of velvet fabrics. 

They are obtained by introducing additional rune threads in the form of loops between the warp and weft threads. Additional threads may remain uncut (loop velvet), they may also be cut (sheared velvet). Each of the velvet materials has a unique texture – it is extremely pleasant to the touch and soft. Therefore, it will be great not only for sewing clothes, but also for home accessories, for example pillows.

Stretch velvets are recommended for sewing autumn-winter outfits, such as dresses, skirts, jackets. The fabric can also be used decoratively, for example to create homemade textiles. 

Materials made of inelastic velvet are, in turn, an excellent choice for sewing elegant creations. They have the form of high-quality, flowing and very soft fabric. Velvet is the perfect choice for sewing a dress, blouse or skirt.

Velor fabrics – what can be sewn from them?

Velour fabrics are characterized by a truly royal appearance. Giving them such a term is justified. In past centuries, they were used mainly for sewing elegant creations, including royal and liturgical vestments. Velor reached Europe only in the twelfth century, and its cradle is India. He immediately gained enormous popularity, which continues to this day. Although the techniques of manufacturing velor fabrics have changed, the principle of creating this material is still unchanged. 

Velor is a very characteristic fabric and certainly everyone will easily recognize it. Once it was extremely popular, especially in the context of upholstering furniture, later it gave way to lighter materials. Currently, velor fabrics are returning to favor, and not only in the interior design industry. They are also very willingly used in tailoring projects. What characterizes this type of product?

Velor fabric belongs to the group of plush materials, quite often you can meet with such terms: velvet, velvet and plush used as synonyms. In fact, these are other products, although of course quite similar to each other. The method of ouraving them is similar, hence their considerable similarity.

Although due to their softness, velor materials seem very delicate, in reality they are very durable and resistant to many years of use. It is worth mentioning that this fabric is used to create furniture coverings that are resistant to cat's claws – so it is an ideal upholstery material. 

What is the difference between velvet and velor?

Velvet is a material often confused with velor – not without reason, because fabrics are extremely similar visually. The difference is due to the length of the coat, which in the case of velor is shorter, giving the effect of a thinner material than velvet. In turn, velvet is a slightly thicker (and stiffer) fabric, but covered with a pleasant mesh, which is responsible for its popularity in the interior design industry. Clothes made of velvet, once inaccessible to most people, today are perfect not only for evening outings, but also for everyday stylizations – without losing their nobility. 

It is worth emphasizing that the terms plush, velor velvet are very often used interchangeably. Although this is an inaccuracy, it has settled in everyday language for good. It is worth bearing this in mind when looking for the perfect materials for your projects.
