I have not seen it yet (I just ordered a yard), but this seller has undyed 100%
silk velvet. Here is the
link:http://www.aurorasilk.com/fabrics/silks_shiny/ALLSILKVELVET.htmlHere is
the description from the website:All the "silk" velvet I've seen on the market
has been RAYON pile inserted into a woven silk back. This allows the popular
"burnt out" velvet because acids will burn the cellulose of the rayon, but not
appreciably damage the silk. Rayon pile is not the same as silk pile! Visually,
it is glassier, and of course does not dye like the silk at all.Silk feels so
wonderful, rayon does not. The electricity of silk means that wearing this 100%
silk pile side next to the skin has the physiological effect of feeding the
body with energy!Machine woven of reeled cultivated silk, very even and
standard. Because the weave is so tight, this is a most durable velvet. Dyes
beautifully. Drapes incredibly, especially when cut on the bias. VERY LIMITED
SUPPLY!It is $60/yard for 1-4 yards, 5+ yards are $50/yard.-Kathymy crafty
