What you're buying
One fabric, one print method, three sizes.
The name is about the hand, not the fiber. Velveteen is polyester with a short cut pile, and it drapes and catches light the way silk does at a fraction of the price. There is no silk in these blankets.
Every crest is dye-sublimated into a white velveteen blank, so the color sits in the fibers instead of on top of them. The back stays plain white. Nothing is kept in stock: each blanket is printed after you order it.
