Velvet and Its Rich History <\/strong><\/p>\n

Velvet, believe it or not, has been around for thousands of years. Different nations have used it for different cultural reasons, through the centuries. Velvet is a highly-valued material that was equated to power, wealth and royalty.<\/p>\n

The modern world now has manufacturing methods that made velvet available to everyone. Thanks to the expertise of Englishman Edmund Cartwright who made the power loom in 1785. In our day, velvet is known to be more versatile than the type that ancient people used.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s great about this textile is that it will never go out of style. Imagine this material lasting through the early Renaissance, to the early Asian palace dwellers, all the way to Belgium which became a major producer of velvet during the 1500s.<\/p>\n

Silk Velvet <\/strong><\/p>\n

This kind of velvet has a signature sheen and it is also soft to touch. One touch and you know you\u2019re feeling a luxurious material. Use this material in areas that have light traffic only<\/em>. Take note of this as it is keen on revealing the pressures that it goes through. Highly-exposed silk velvet will end up with a lot of marks and creases so limit it to rooms such as the bedroom.<\/p>\n

Linen Velvet <\/strong><\/p>\n
In contrast to the first type, linen velvet is more matte, hence, it has a shorter pile. It even feels drier <\/em>when you touch it. It is easy to detect this kind of velvet; just look for that subtle strie and you know you\u2019ve found one. This is not a defect, rather, a natural result of not being able to spin uniform-gauge yarn.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s a tip, if you want to know the fiber content of a fabric, then be sure to read the showroom tags. The first item is often the face fiber while the second one is the ground fiber.<\/p>\n
Cotton Velvet <\/strong><\/p>\n
This is considered as a tufted fabric. It is plain-woven with the pile and has about three\u00a0 millimeters of surface fiber length.<\/p>\n
Cotton velvet may not be easy to clean, it even absorbs dyes well, but it is a thing of beauty if you know how to take care of it.<\/p>\n
Nowadays, modern cotton velvet contains polyester fibers which make the fabric more resistant to wearing and tearing.<\/p>\n
There may be dye-lot issues so ask for the showroom staff to order you swatches of the present dye lot. You would be surprised that velvet color may look different in the store than when you bring the actual swatches in your home.<\/p>\n
Wool Velvet <\/strong><\/p>\n
Coziness and warmth are two of the elements that make velvet stunning. Wool velvet is a durable upholstery for those wintry months. This will feel hot during the summer season, though, so use a slipcover during the warmer seasons. Just make sure that the slipcover is loose, though, as it may ruin the nap if it\u2019s too tight.<\/p>\n
Mohair Velvet <\/strong><\/p>\n
This is a kind of wooly, soft fabric made from the silky hair of an Angora goat. And, nope, this is not the same as the Angora rabbit wool. If you want to cover your headboard or sofa with mohair, then be sure that you are really <\/em>decided. This material could last for a very, very long time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
