Velvet fabric – Ikat in Madrid
Barkhat (probably from the German Barchent; English Velvet, French Velours) is originally a silk cloth with thick hair stretched or cut of small height, which is obtained through a special interlacing of threads: four in pairs form the upper warp and bottom, and the fifth – hair.
The fabric base is made of plain weave or twill. The varieties of velvet differ according to the quality of the soil used (warp and weft) on which the hair and hair thread is fastened.
Velvet made of silk, wool or cotton yarn with a high pile (2-6 mm) is called plush.
A fabric made in the velvet technique with hair arranged in the form of narrow scars is called velvet.
