DEFINIZIONE
  • n. From the Medieval Latin "velvetum", and Middle English "veluet" "velvet" among others. It refers to a silk textile fabric that has a short, dense and smooth piled surface. The pile is produced by a pile warp that is raised in loops above a ground weave through the introduction of rods during the weaving. There are many types of velvet, classified depending on the nature of the pile (broderie velvet, ciselè velvet, cut velvet, pile-on-pile velvet, uncut velvet, etc.).
