VELO (short for velour, also French for bicycle) is a finely crafted plush pile yarn, suitable for many uses.
The softness is a marvel, absolutely addictive, but it actually makes a very strong fabric. You can experiment with brushing and ironing to get a range of special effects. The incomparable lustrous shimmer of silk is amplified by the texture for dramatic effect.
We are also quite pleased with the color range!
This is a great yarn for tops, skirts, sweaters, and decorative fiber art.
