Taos velvet has a 100% viscose-rayon pile on 100% cotton ground that has a rich luster and luxurious sheen, reminiscent of fine silk velvet. The velvet’s fine slub is woven with thick and thin yarn in the weft direction with a lush rayon pile that lends to traditional, contemporary, or transitional style. This velvet has a high light reflection and touchable soft texture while retaining toughness of 100,000 double rubs using the Wyzenbeek test method. The finishing contains a robust stain and soil repellent making it a high-performance velvet. We love the well-rounded colorway of Taos, with some really gorgeous pastels and rich jewel tones.
