Baize

About Baize
Baize is a type of pile-napped fabric characterized by its brushed surface, which gives it a soft, plush feel. Typically made from wool, baize is dense and heavy, providing excellent insulation and durability. The brushing process raises the fibers, creating a soft pile that enhances its tactile qualities. Baize is often used in applications such as upholstery, table coverings, and clothing, where warmth and a luxurious appearance are desired.
