| Description |
Originally made of silk, the finest natural material originating from a silkworm's single filament, velvet is still a beautiful fabric in its modern incarnations.
It is an exceptional cloth with the third visual dimension of the pile length and the special texture of the cloth that is "as pleasing to the finger as to the eye" ("Velvet: History, Techniques, Fashion" Fabrizio de Marinis, ed. Idea Books, $35)
