Abstract
Abstract A metallic velvet material comprising a woven textile pile fabric wherein at least a portion of the woven base fabric and/or the velvet surface-forming pile yarns is metallic. The metallic yarn may comprise a blended yarn formed of staple metal fibers and conventional nonmetallic textile fibers, or may be formed of continuous metal filament material. The metal fibers, or filaments, are preferably formed with rough unmachined, unburnished, fracture-free outer surfaces for improved retention in the velvet pile fabric.
