VELVETS
e luxurious softness of velvet makes it the perfect choice for any formal event that requires a degree of elegance and sophistication.
Velvet was a very di cult and expensive cloth to make before the advent of industrial power looms, and was therefore only ever worn by the rich. Today the cloth is still di cult to produce but with the bene t of modern looms the process is much faster and more e cient.
A velvet cloth is woven on a special loom that weaves two layers of velvet at the same time. e two layers are joined together, face to face by an interlacing weft yarn. After the weft yarn has been inserted a cutting knife passes through the middle of both layers, cleanly separating them to create two cloths with an evenly distributed tufted pile.
