The Difference Between The Inverted Velvet And The Smooth Velvet Of Corduroy And How To Correctly Identify The Inverted And Smooth Direction Of Corduroy

Generally, velvet fabrics are divided into inverted and smooth directions! Especially suede, the frost on the surface of nylon corduroy is also called spotting (white, like fog), which is formed because the direction of the velvet is inconsistent.

How to distinguish the inverted and smooth direction of corduroy? First, we must start with the difference between the inverted velvet and the smooth direction of corduroy.

1. Generally, the smooth direction is the direction in which the velvet lies down, and the inverted direction is the direction in which the velvet stands up.

2. The color in the smooth direction will be lighter, and the color in the inverted direction will be darker.

To distinguish the inverted and smooth direction of corduroy, we can start from these two points. Follow the direction of the corduroy and wipe it with your palm. If it turns white and the velvet lies down, it is the smooth direction. If it is wiped over, the velvet stands up and the color becomes darker, it is the inverted direction. If you wipe it in the smooth direction, it will be smoother, and if you wipe it in the inverted direction, there will be resistance. This is also the reason why the same roll of corduroy fabric will have two lengths when cut twice.

Corduroy fabric is usually cut in one direction, so that different parts of a piece of clothing will not have different colors due to different directions of the wool. It is very important to know how to distinguish the reverse and forward directions of corduroy fabric!
