Velour #79 fiber composition?

Velour #79 fiber composition?

• A. 100% cotton
• B. 60% cotton 40% polyester
• C. 80% cotton 20% polyester
• D. 100% bamboo rayon

Answer: (C)

Velour’s plush feel comes from a cotton base with enough synthetic in it to keep the pile resilient and the fabric easy to care for. The blend of 80% cotton and 20% polyester hits the sweet spot by delivering a soft, comfortable hand while maintaining good bounce-back and durability after washing. Pure cotton velour can feel lovely but is more prone to shrinking and losing its pile after laundering, while too much polyester (like 60/40) can make the fabric stiffer and less breathable. A fabric that’s 100% bamboo rayon would be exceptionally soft, but rayon-based velours aren’t as durable or resilient as cotton/poly blends.
