Tapestry fabric is produced by a plain weave technique, which creates complex, beautiful designs which resemble original tapestry. Tapestry fabric is ideal for slip covers, valences, pillows and upholstery. The designs of a tapestry fabric vary from floral to geometric patterns woven from any of the materials such as cotton, wool or silk.
Tapestry fabric is available under attractive names such as contemporary tapestry, conversational tapestry and chenille tapestry. A wide range of materials are used in the manufacture of tapestry fabric which include yarn dyed polyester, cotton, silk, and wool.
The advantage of tapestry fabric is that it is stronger and durable than other fabrics.
Upholstery tapestry fabric can be turned into wall hangings, which can add to the ambience of a room. The various products that can be made with tapestry fabric include handbags, wallets, baskets, blankets, wall hangings, pillow covers, rugs and mats, and bedding sets. Tapestry handbags and tapestry pillows are very much in vogue in the present day. Tapestry Fabrics with many different themes are available for upholstery.
Tapestry fabric wall hangings replicate the old use of artistic tapestry wall hangings of the days of yore. The difference between hand-woven original tapestry and the modern tapestry fabric may not be easily visible. Thus tapestry fabric wall hangings with ancient themes can evoke a sense of the historic past. Similarly those with modern themes can contribute a contemporary chic look to the décor of a room.
Today, the modern and mechanized jacquard looms provide us with the opportunity to enjoy the beauty of these magnificent and traditional tapestries at home. A wide range of tapestry fabrics is also available through online stores, apart from other manufacturers and shops.
