It’s a tough gig taking a faded red velvet couch to a forest green one, it takes a lot more dye than you’d imagine and even with brushing dry and wet and watering the dye down it still is sandpapery and crispy, we don’t mind as the colour is great and we will have to live with it. In retrospect velvet is a difficult fabric to do. But Fabricoat is still an amazing product and has given an older couch a new lease of life.
