Velvet fabric, velvet, and velvet fabric plush may look similar to each other, but they are actually three separate fabrics with their own unique properties. For example, natural fibers such as cotton feel good on your skin while synthetic fibers do not; also, be aware that the price difference between varieties of these materials may make them worth the investment if health is a priority.

　　Velvet fabric can be woven from natural fibers, cellulose (viscose/rayon or modal), synthetic products, or a combination of these. Here are some of the most common types:

　　Velvet fabric is one of the most luxurious fabrics ever created. It feels soft and smooth to the touch and has a high gloss that gives it a wet feel. It's best for pieces that won't be used a lot and will fade in the sun.

　　Linen velvet has a matte, dry appearance and is ideal for dyeing, resulting in deep, rich colors. Linen velvet is often striped (subtle, irregular stripes) because linen yarns tend to have different thicknesses. Its fuzz is usually shorter than other velvets and can be easily chafed or crushed. Linen velvet is popular in warm climates because it is breathable and cool to the touch.

　　Cotton velvet can be easily crushed, which is why it is often blended with another fiber, such as polyester, to increase its elasticity. It has a matte finish but can be mixed with viscose for added shine and strength.

　　Wool velvet is durable and stretchy yet warm to the touch - lovely in winter but not so great in summer.

　　Mohair velvet made from angora wool is extremely durable and resists dirt and crushing. If a piece of clothing is going to be used a lot, mohair is the gold standard. Mohair velvet is very thick and less glossy than silk or cellulose fibers. It is described as "glowing".

　　Velvet, made from cellulose, a man-made fiber made from plants or wood pulp, is soft and has a deep luster that makes natural fibers somewhat competitive in the glamour department.

　　Synthetic velvet, such as velvet made from high-quality polyester, does not easily leave marks or crush. They are fade resistant but don't have the color depth of natural fabrics. Although they have improved significantly since their introduction, synthetic velvets often look and feel different from natural versions. Blending synthetic and natural fibers can provide the best of both worlds.

　　Cut velvet is not a specific fiber, but a fabric cut with patterns on velvet. The pattern can be any design, from traditional florals to more modern geometric shapes.
