Inspired by the traditional beautiful hand-cut velvets from the past, root cellar designs’ New Performance Velvet is a modern version- a durable polyester knit, soft-to-the-hand with a matte finish. Constructed of 100% polyester it has a short pile and a rich texture, this Performance Velvet looks and feels like a high-end cotton-velvet fabric. With a felted backing it drapes beautifully, and is stain and spill resistant offering high abrasion protection. Single-sided printed with eco-friendly, water-based ink. It is 11.5 oz per square foot and prints 56” wide, and sold by the yard. No yardage minimum. for Performance Velvet’s debut, we introduce it on our black and neutral geometric patterns, but all root cellar designs designs can be printed on this ground.
CARE: Unlike some traditional velvets, our Performance Velvet is machine washable with cool water only and set to a gentle wash cycle. Tumble dry low heat.
To Spot Clean for Upholstery: immediately blot spills with a clean, absorbent cloth, then use a diluted solution of mild dish soap and water on a damp cloth to gently blot the stain, working in the direction of the fabric's nap; always test the cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first, and allow the fabric to air dry completely; if the stain is stubborn, consult a professional cleaner.
