Double Velvet
DOUBLE VELVET
Made by having the pile warp stretched between two layers of foundation cloths; a knife cuts the pile in the middle between the two layers. It is recorded that this idea was first worked in Zurich during the 18th century - Then in Lyons. Martin, a manufacturer at Tarare, applied the idea to plushes. During the early part of the 19th century Davis invented a double-velvet loom. In 1838 Guillot, Lyons, invented a double-velvet loom with vertical warp, the two layers of cloth being separated as the weaving progressed.
