The mercerized velvet fabric is a kind of velveteen, which is a fabric with good surface luster obtained by mercerizing the raised yarn, also called mercerized velvet. It is mostly used for embroidery of all kinds of women's tops and clothes.
Other cotton fabrics include various cotton fabrics woven from twill weave, such as gabardine, khaki, serge, etc., and various yarn-dyed fabrics woven from fibers dyed and spun, such as varnish, yarn-dyed tweed, etc. Since these varieties are not commonly found in cotton fabrics and are conventional in wool fabrics, they are detailed in the section on wool fabrics.
