Stretch Velour Fabric - Amethyst

A real showstopper of a shade! Amethyst is a rich, vibrant purple stretch velour jersey with that unmistakable Christmas chocolate box appeal. Deep and saturated, but still wonderfully bright, it's a colour that makes an impression. Its short, dense pile feels exceptionally smooth and soft, catching the light to create a beautiful satin-like sheen.

Made from 97% polyester and 3% elastane, this knitted velour has excellent four-way stretch and recovery, giving you plenty of comfortable movement while helping your finished garments retain their shape.

We'd make this into a fabulous party dress, a fitted evening top or a statement cardigan. It's also a brilliant choice for festive sewing, from theatrical costumes and Christmas outfits to stockings and decorations. If you're looking for a purple dressmaking fabric with a little extra personality, this is a good place to start.
