Were you looking at the Silk Baron's sight? When I talked to him last week, he said that his velvet was silk pile with viscose backing. Since I prefer the sturdiness of cotton velveteen, I don't know a lot about silk velvet. Anne in Eastern VA

S. In looking through the colors offered, I notice that some say "100% silk" and others do not. Also some appear from the photos to be distressed, and others do not. Some have a characteristic "silk" sheen, others--well, you get the picture. So I suspect that the seller is offering a collection of what they have been able to obtain from various wholesalers in various colors. I am tempted by some of the colors, but I would certainly obtain a swatch of the specific fabric I wanted, and test it before I bought.
