Velsoft: types, features of the choice and recommendations for leaving

Today, the textile market is represented by a huge selection of materials that are used both for sewing clothes and for the manufacture of various accessories. At the same time, Velsoft deserves special attention. Despite the fact that this type of fabric is synthetic, it has excellent performance characteristics, is affordable, and is not inferior in quality to cotton and linen.

Velsoft, or, as it is also called, microfiber, is a modern material that is produced in the form of a soft canvas with medium or long pile. Outwardly, this fabric is similar to terry, fleece and velor. But unlike them, velsoft is softer and more tender, because its fibers have different characteristics and structure. For the first time this material was made in Japan in 1976, the basis for its creation was polyamide. Thanks to modern technology, the production of fabrics has improved over time, and at the moment it is produced with a maximum fiber diameter of 0.06 mm.

Many, touching velsoft, confuse it with knitwear, but in reality it has nothing to do with this fabric, since other materials are used for its manufacture.In addition, velsoft looks similar to terry, but this impression is misleading, since polyester threads are used for its production, and cotton is used for terry material. This material differs in composition and from fleece. Its threads undergo a special treatment, as a result of which they acquire an increased density. The canvas turns out to be lightweight, non-electrifying and perfectly keeps heat.

The chemical composition of velsoft is simple, only polyamide is present in it. Due to the fact that the density of the material is 300 g / m2, things sewn from it are long-lasting and do not lose their original appearance even after numerous washes. The fabric is produced in various types and shades, products with beautiful patterns and unusual colors are very popular and in demand. Of these, children’s clothing is usually sewn, and plain material is used to make decor items, plaids and other wardrobe items.

Velsoft received many positive reviews, this is due to the following advantages of the fabric.

• Lightness and weightlessness. The canvas acquires this effect thanks to a special production technique in which the space between the microfiber threads is filled with air. This gives the fibers a larger volume.
• Soft and delicate structure. Microfiber fabrics are specially treated with technical grease.
• Durability. The material does not stretch, does not change its original shape, and is resistant to mechanical stress. In addition, the canvas remains bright for a long time. After washing, it does not fade, since its threads are dyed with environmental and sustainable dyes. The fabric is also not prone to spools.

• Safety for health. Despite the fact that there is a pile in the canvas, it does not retain odors and does not collect dust. Upon contact with the epidermis, such tissue does not cause allergic reactions. Polyester, which is the main component of the material, is not suitable for the formation and vital activity of fungi and harmful microorganisms. Therefore, velsoft is completely antibacterial.
• High thermoregulatory indicators. The fabric is not only pleasant to the touch, its fluffy and long pile retains heat well and quickly heats the body.
• Breathability. Since the material has a porous structure, its fibers do not overheat, and the body in microfiber products breathes.
• Simple care. After washing things from velsoft dry quickly and do not wrinkle.

At the moment, on sale you can find many types of synthetic fabrics, but velsoft is significantly different from them. This applies not only to its design, but also to operational characteristics. Depending on the structure of the fibers, the material is divided into several types:

• pile (it happens with medium and long pile);
• lint-free (ultrasoft);
• unilateral;
• bilateral.

In addition, the fabric is characterized by softness and appearance of the decor. Now velsoft is very popular with the texture of the fur of some animals and other materials. The material also varies in color.

• Solid color. The canvas has only one specific color. There are no ornaments and drawings on it. Most often, clothing for adults is made from this type. Outwardly, it resembles knitwear.
• Printed. The surface of the fabric is decorated with bright and unusual patterns. It is well suited for sewing various interior items, warm blankets and rugs. The design of the material also has a drawing, but it is applied by printing. In this design, the fabric is striking in its variety of patterns. They can be decorated in pastel or in contrasting bright colors.
• Coarse-grained. It is also called velsoft-jacquard. This is a furniture fabric, which is distinguished by large patterns and patterns located on the entire surface of the canvas. This type of microfiber is obtained using a special technique of weaving multi-colored threads. Small patterns may also be present on the fabric.
• Pressed. In the manufacture of this type of fabric, the pile is laid in a different direction according to a unique technology, creating various ornaments. The density of this material is up to 280 g / m2, the width of the canvas does not exceed 200 cm. It is usually used for sewing blankets and rugs.

Slippers, hats, sweatshirts, trousers, pajamas, as well as bathrobes for children and adults are usually sewn from a beautiful and soft fabric called velsoft. In addition, microfiber makes excellent products for newborns in the form of blouses and winter overalls. Clothing from velsoft is in great demand, because it perfectly retains heat, does not wrinkle and does not lose color after washing. Also, this material is often used when it is necessary to sew a plaid, blanket or children's bedspread. Beautiful and decorative soft pillows turn out.

Needleworkers who sew at home use the material in the manufacture of fluffy and soft toys. Microfiber is also made of a warming lining for clothes. The only thing is that it is difficult to sew products from this fabric on your own, since during cutting, the fabric crumbles and crumbles a lot. In addition, you should have special skills for creating seams, since the threads can cover not the basis of the fabric, but its pile.

It is recommended to sew products from simple software at simple patterns, preferring ultrasoft. It is much easier to work with, and there is more chance of getting a beautiful pillow or blanket in the end. To create decorative objects, it is best to choose a fabric that imitates fur. It will make both an original plaid and a small rug. Velsoft offers great opportunities for creativity, so you can experiment with it in various styles and sew any things.

Before you purchase a canvas for sewing or products from a velsoft, you need to know where you plan to use them. It is important to choose a pattern and color scheme not only according to personal preferences, but also take into account their combination with the decor in the room (this applies to bedspreads, rugs and blankets). In addition, it is important to pay attention to the size of the canvas. For example, for sewing blankets, a 200 × 200 mm canvas is required, it fits perfectly on a double bed, but will be too large to be used as a wrap on the shoulders. For decorating chairs, it is desirable to give preference to dense material in neutral shades.

You need to buy high-quality fabric, so you should carefully consider its folds. In the event that the canvas has areas with a wiped or oily appearance, it is necessary to refuse the acquisition, such a product will not last long. In addition, the material is not allowed the presence of deflated loops and asymmetry of the pattern, all this indicates a low quality fabric. A one-color velsoft is recommended to be purchased for sewing at home children's, men's and women's suits. You can also make warm and soft slippers from it. Microfiber with a long pile can be used as rugs and towels, in terms of its characteristics it is much larger than ordinary terry.
