Ahhh, velvet. That most tactile of fabrics. So soft and sensuously smooth.
So intense and saturated with colour.
The very mention of it conjures up scenes of seduction and glamorous lounging.
Sofas become more welcoming, headboards more beckoning and curtains whisper to us of secrets, as they slither and slide and pool on the floor.
On second thoughts I think I’m currently favouring yellow.
What about you?
