Velvet is the question here… Not all velvet is the same!
Our velvet fabric Adore, however, is truly made to be “adored” – it is so wonderfully soft & cuddly that you won’t want to leave any upholstered furniture covered with it. And it not only looks & feels good, it is also extremely high-quality and offers the best features:
The so-called warp velvet was already known in Italy in the 14th century. It was produced in Milan, Florence, Genoa, and Venice. During this period, it was mainly used as covering for cushions, upholstered furniture, and wall coverings. But not only that: robes that were meant to impress and look splendid were also made with velvet. In the Renaissance, velvet was especially popular in Europe and was considered the main fabric type of that time. In Germany and the Netherlands, the velvet industry only gained a foothold in the 18th century. The Lower Rhine was for a long time the European centre for the production of precious fabrics such as silk and velvet.
Velvet is a fabric into which a pile yarn is woven. In ancient times, the fabric was called sammet. The term comes from Greek and means something like ‘six-threaded’. The development of silk weaving is closely linked to that of velvet. Medieval velvet was initially a multicoloured silk fabric with patterns – but without pile.
The base fabric for velvet production is a plain or twill weave. Into this fabric, an additional weft or warp yarn system is woven. Different methods of yarn insertion create different types of velvet. Hence, one also speaks of weft velvet (often called velvet) or warp velvet. During the yarn insertion, loops are formed above the base fabric, which are cut at the end of production. This creates the typical fibre pile of velvet. The term cotton velvet is often used when cotton is used for velvet production.
Velvet has, unlike velour or plush, the shortest pile fibres. Therefore, the fabric feels soft, yet relatively firm and heavy. The pile also gives velvet a certain style, whereby the fabric looks and feels different depending on the direction of the pile. That is why the direction of the pile must be observed during velvet production.
