This is like a flash back to the early 80's when I worked in fabrics at a department store. The beige may be fleece which was used for bathrobes. The green may be a wool or wool blend.
|
The beige looks like a velour or home dec fabric to me.
|
Could the beige be for car interiors? I seem to remember soft roots on the inside.
|
My guess is the beige is a polyester or nylon velour, I have used some in the past for stuffed toys. And I agree that the green could be a wool.
|
The green looks to me like it could be dyed burlap. Disclaimer: at my age, the eyes are not perfect.
|
The beige might be a soft velour. I have an old pair of workout pants made of it. It is really stretchy. I can't imagine trying to make a quilt out of it.
|
The beige, to me, looks like something I would make car seat covers out of.
|
Thanks for all the help! Velour sounds exactly like what the beige is. The green piece sat in straight bleach overnight and did not dissolve, so I guess it's not wool. I belong to a charity quilting group so I'll bring it to them when we meet next. This month is one where we don't meet much so I thought I'd ask you nice folks instead!

The beige looks like a Velour to me, and the green looks like a plain inexpensive knit.
|
the beige looks like a synthetic velour like is/was used in bath robes--not heavy enough for car upholstery and most of upholstery fabric for cars doesn't have stretch to it. The green from your picture looks like a flannel--if you are thinking it's not cotton, maybe it's one with poly blend? A flame test (be careful when doing this!) will tell you that--a poly will melt more.
