Introduction:

New to Fabworks Online, some of our favourite reorderable furnishing fabrics from Fabworks Mill Shop.

This fantastic collection of embossed/printed velvets is ideal for soft furnishings, upholstery and craft projects. These fabrics have been available at Fabworks Mill Shop for some time now, being very popular due to the versatility and usability of this collection. 

Colour:

Elephant Granite - Fleece Back Furnishing Velour boasts a perennially favourite hue- a rich and comforting elephant grey with subtle beige undertones plus a lustrous sheen. Deeper tones of grey are showcased in an interesting almost textural embossed and printed design that emulates the look of granite striations or the fine grain of antiqued leather. Use this as a seriously stylish feature for your soft furnishing creations or incorporate it into patterned schemes as a semi-solid hue for sitting alongside similar autumn/natural-hued patterned accents. The reverse side of Elephant Granite has a special super soft backing that features a rich nut brown and has a wonderfully comforting micro fleece-like feel.

Properties:

These luxuriously drapey, super soft,  and seriously stable velvets boast a short yet luxuriously silken pile with the soft touch of moleskin and subtle sheen. A reassuring medium-heavy drape provides luxurious style opportunities. The special super soft backing features a rich nut brown hue and has a wonderfully comforting micro fleece-brushed feel - offering you the possibility of creating comforting and stylish garments !!

All images are taken using high-quality photography equipment. We are very keen to ensure that colour accuracy is the best we can get however, we do suggest ordering a Sample first to make sure that this product is right for you. If a Sample is not sufficient, we suggest ordering 1 unit of 0.5m CUT LENGTH (a half metre) for style ideas when planning new projects, wash testing & seeing a full pattern repeat.
