Doux also means soft, but here it seems to be a brand
name/manufacturer's label rather than a type of fabric.
Velvet is a weave. You *can* weave velvets from any fiber, though some
fibers are more attractive than others, and some velvets are
significantly more available and/or affordable
I would not want to buy any velvet sight unseen. Only buy from a place that
will send you swatches. Some velvets are so slinky they would drive me
crazy to work with them, while some, even clothing weight, have a bit more
body.
