82% Rayon - 18% Silk Cut velvet is all the rage now, and you can see these in high class department stores for $60-$90. For us, it's just another beautiful scarf and we can sell them fairly economically, as we do all the scarves. The thing that's amazing about these is that just dyeing them a solid color with either Cotton (Fiber Reactive) or Silk (Acid) dyes yields a fabulous result. The Rayon pile and the silk Chiffon backing fabric can dye in different shades - very neat! Even more fun, you can dye them with our Alter Ego dyes to get totally different colors on the rayon and silk. These are also very luxurious and soft, as well as being beautiful, so they make fantastic gifts!

These are a delight to dye! They love color, and the nap takes the dye differently from the backing, making some wonderfully dramatic effects. They simply glow....... Cream rinse is indeed a huge help with the fringe.

Gorgeous. I dyed them first with Jacquard acid dyes and then with fiber reactive dyes, the background and foreground came out either different colors completely, or different shades. The colors on the velvet were luminescent.

I had some of these scarves for years not knowing what to do with them. After finding the Alter Ego Dyes, I've reordered twice!

They are wonderful when dyed though their fringes need more patience on my part than I can always guarantee... a soaking in fabric softener helps

I have not used these yet, but used similar in the past. I wish the size was 8"x72", because I can price that size more in line with what people are willing to pay. I have to split and hem these to get what I want--a lot of extra work!

Wow. Dyed with AlterEgo. First one I used hair conditioner on the fringe, second one I didn't. Patience and gentleness are the key with combing out the fringe, I didn't find a big difference with the conditioner. Took maybe 20 min. while watching TV, not a biggie for the beautiful final result.

These really dye up great.
Would also like to have some cut velvet scarves without the fringe.

These are wonderful! Again, as above I would be interested in a two-sided version (two pieces sewn together, so pile is on both sides and they have more heft).
