We may have come into contact with velvet clothing and be very interested in this fabric, but do not know what kind of fabric velvet is. This question may have puzzled everyone for a long time. To answer what kind of fabric velvet is, it is necessary to trace back to its origins and delve into its history.
As for what kind of fabric velvet is, in fact, velvet is what we usually call Zhang velvet, named after its origin in the Zhangzhou area of Fujian Province, China. Since the Ming Dynasty, Zhang velvet has been produced in large quantities, so velvet is one of China's traditional fabrics.
The structure of velvet is usually a weft-knitted pile loop structure, generally divided into ground yarn and pile yarn. It is often woven from different raw materials such as cotton, viscose, rayon, polyester, and nylon. Different materials can be used for weaving depending on the purpose.
Velvet is divided into patterned and plain types. The surface of plain velvet looks entirely like pile loops, while patterned velvet cuts some of the pile loops into pile fibers according to the pattern, forming the pattern with the alternation of pile fibers and pile loops. Patterned velvet can be further divided into "bright pattern" and "dark pattern" types. The patterns are mostly dragon clusters, phoenix clusters, five blessings with longevity, flowers and birds, and antique styles. The ground weaving often uses a sense of relief to express the pattern, with colors mainly black, dark purple, apricot yellow, blue, and brown.
