Carnival Textured Velvet Fabric | Heavyweight 400gsm | Multi-Tonal Shimmer

Price range: £0.00 through £197.99 Price Including Tax

Add depth and luxury to your interiors with Carnival, a premium Textured Velvet Fabric. Unlike flat velvets, Carnival features a unique multi-tonal finish that catches the light, giving it a subtle, sophisticated shimmer that changes slightly from different angles.

Weighing in at a substantial 400 GSM, this is a true heavyweight fabric. It has a soft, plush handle that drapes beautifully for curtains but is thick enough for durable upholstery. Despite its luxurious look, it is practical for modern living—it is Machine Washable at 40°C.

Why Choose Carnival Velvet?

  • Textured & Forgiving: The “crushed” or textured pile hides footprints, shading, and light stains much better than smooth velvet, making it ideal for busy living rooms.

  • Heavyweight Luxury: At 400gsm, it provides excellent insulation as curtains and feels substantial and high-end on furniture.

  • Mineral Colour Palette: Available in 19 rich shades inspired by metals and earth tones, including Zinc, Bronze, Midnight, and Forest.

  • Family Friendly: Oeko-Tex Standard 100 (Class II) certified (no harmful chemicals) and machine washable, offering luxury without the “dry clean only” headache.

Ideal Uses

  • Upholstery: Sofas, armchairs, ottomans, and dining chairs.

  • Curtains: The heavy weight creates opulent, deep folds that block drafts and look stunning.

  • Soft Furnishings: Scatter cushions, bed runners, and bean bags.

Expert Tips for Sewing Textured Velvet

  1. Do Not Iron: The specs explicitly say “Do Not Iron”. Ironing will crush the beautiful textured pile. Use a steamer or steam form the reverse side only.

  2. Nap Direction: Like all velvets, this fabric has a “nap” (direction of the pile). Ensure all your curtain panels or sofa pieces are cut with the pile running the same direction to avoid color mismatches.

  3. Sewing Machine: Because this is a Knitted construction, use a Ballpoint Needle (Size 90/14) to avoid snagging the knit backing. A Walking Foot is recommended to stop the layers sliding against each other.
