Now, i have ben on this list for long, so please forgive my ignorance but what is the difference between velveteen and velvet?
I only know the rayon velvet and cotton velvet. Did i miss something?


Oo, oo!  Pick me!  I know this one!

In velvet, the pile is formed from a supplemental warp. In velveteen, it's formed from a supplemental weft. So it's a difference in weave rather than in fibre.
