The kinds of velvet fabric

Types of Velvet Fabric

Crushed Velvet: Crushed velvet is one of the unique forms of velvet. It can be made by twisting or pressing the fabric after it dries. Crushed velvet is not uniform in appearance. It rises and falls in an organic way that is visually stunning.

Embossed Velvet: This velvet is embossed with words, symbols, or other shapes. It is also known as printed velvet. You can feel embossing when you touch the velvet fabric.

Stretch velvet: The material has a stretchy texture because it incorporates spandex. Stretch velvet is often used for sports clothing, such as leggings and leotards.

Plain Velvet: Plain velvet is heavier than other types and is usually made from cotton. It is slightly stretcher than nylon velvet and less shiny than traditional silk. It can be used for clothing, accessories, and even home decor.

Hammered Velvet: This type of velvet fabric is considered to be the finest form of velvet. It has been pressed or smashed instead of crushed. This fabric has a dappled appearance that is very similar to the coat of a warm, soft animal.

Lyons Velvet: This velvet is denser than most other types, making it ideal for outerwear applications. Lyons velvet is a luxurious outerwear material that can be used for hats and coats.

Panne Velvet: Although "Panne" may be used to refer to many things when it comes to velvet, the original meaning of this term was to describe crushed velvet that had been subjected only to a one-direction thrusting moment. Today, Panne is used more commonly to describe velvet that has a bunched appearance.

Utrecht Velvet: Although this type of crimped velvet is no longer in fashion, it can still be found in eveningwear and dresses.

Voided Velvet: This velvet has patterns that are made up of sections with piles and others without. This type of velvet can be made in many different shapes and designs, making it similar to embossed velvet.
