Panne Velvet Fabric Black

Panne Velvet Fabric Black

In the photo you can immediately see what this fabric is known for, that deep lustre that only genuine panne velvet has. The pile catches the light differently depending on the direction you stroke it, creating lighter and darker folds in the same black colour. It has a rich, almost theatrical appearance that you instantly associate with evening wear or heavy curtain fabric. The fabric drapes heavily enough to hang beautifully, yet remains supple enough to work with smoothly.

What is panne velvet

Panne velvet, also called crushed velvet, is a type of velvet with a flattened pile. During finishing, the pile is pressed flat in one direction, which creates the distinctive high lustre you see on this black fabric. The fabric is knitted from synthetic fibres, which gives it a nice stretch across the width and a supple drape. This makes this black velvet different from woven velvet, as it moves more easily with the body or falls more smoothly against a window. Despite the lustre and soft texture, the fabric is completely opaque, making it ideal when you need coverage.

Uses

This heavy velvet fabric works well for projects where you want that combination of lustre and weight. Think of:

• Evening dresses and formal wear
• Theatre and stage costumes
• Heavy curtains with a luxe finish
• Tablecloths for special occasions
• Cushions and decorative home accessories
• Creative craft and handwork projects
• Historical or fantasy costumes
• Decor fabric for photography or studio shoots

This black panne velvet combines a deep lustre with a pleasant, heavy drape and is therefore a fabric that works for both clothing and home decoration. Browse the rest of our panne velvet fabric range or take a look at all our deco fabrics for more inspiration.
