Velvet fabric is a kind of fabric made of high-quality cotton yarn, which is very comfortable and green. It is very popular in the market, the texture is smooth and lustrous, and the aristocrats used to like velvet products. Velvet fabrics are all made of high-quality cotton yarns with high matching or above. There are several series of plain, printed, jacquard and striped, color woven and rotten, with a short and dense velvet surface. It is one of the softest man-made materials ever made.
VELVET is a silken textile fabric having a short dense piled surface. In all probability, the art of velvet-weaving originated in the Far East, and it is not till about the beginning of the 14th century that we find any mention of the textile. The peculiar properties of velvet, the beautiful yet softened depth of dye-color it exhibited, at once marked it out as a fit material for ecclesiastical vestments, royal and state robes, and sumptuous hangings; and the most magnificent textures of medieval times were Italian velvets. These were in many ways most effectively treated for ornamentation, such as by varying the color of the pile, by producing piles of different lengths (pile upon pile, or double pile), and by brocading with plain silk, with the uncut pile, or with a ground of gold tissue, &c. The earliest sources of European artistic velvets were Catanzaro, Lucca, Genoa, Florence, and Venice, which continued to send out rich velvet textures. Somewhat later the art was taken up by Flemish weavers, and in the sixteenth century, Bruges attained a reputation for velvets that were not inferior to those of the great Italian cities. （source:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velvet#History）
Velvet can only be woven on a unique loom that can spin two layers of fabric at the same time. These fabric layers are then separated and wound on a spool.
Velvet is made from vertical yarns, while velvet is made from horizontal yarns, but besides, the manufacturing process for both textiles is the same. But, velvet is often mixed with regular cotton yarns, which reduces its quality and changes its texture.
Velvet fabric is interwoven with silk as a warp and cotton yarn as weft. With silk or rayon pile loops, warp and weft are first woven by degumming or semi-gumming, dyeing, and flicking. According to different purposes, different raw materials can also be used for weaving. And different raw materials such as cotton, acrylic, viscose silk, polyester, and nylon can also be used for weaving. So, velvet fabric is not woven with velvet, but has a smooth and shiny feel and texture like velvet. Many consumers think that velvet is the plush made from the hair of the swan. Actually, it is not the hair of the swan, this velvet and other plush, but also processed plush.
The tissue structure of velvet is usually a weft knit terry tissue, which can generally be divided into ground yarn and terry yarn. It is often interwoven with different raw materials such as cotton, eyeball, viscose silk, polyester, nylon, etc... Depending on the usage, different raw materials can be used for knitting.
Velvet fabric is light, thin, and elastic. And its use is also very wide, such as sports pants containing its composition, but also can be made into bed sheets, curtains, and so on. So, in the market, the use of velvet fabric is very wide.
