You can create devore (from the French devorer - meaning to devour) by using a devorant paste on a mixed fibre fabric. The devorant destroys (burns out) viscose and plant (cellulose) fibres such as cotton, linen etc and leaves other fibres such as polyester and animal fibres, like silk and wool, intact.
It is used to best effect on Velvet fabric where the viscose pile is eaten away and the silk backing remains in place. Devorants can also be used to burn holes in cellulose fabrics such as 100% cotton and linen to create a lace effect fabric. Often these holes are prone to fraying, making the fabric unsuitable for clothing. The fabrics suitable for this technique are: undyed silk/viscose Velvet, black silk/viscose Velvet, Silco (57% silk/43% cotton ) and silk/viscose Satin.
