Spanish term or phrase: telas con vellosidades
No hay contexto, se trata de una lista de tipos de telas para una fábrica de confección de indumentaria. Imagino que son telas tipo terciopelo/pana?? O se trata de otra cosa? Y cómo se las llama?
Gracias desde ya

plush fabrics
Explanation:
I think this is the usual term. Plush, which is particularly associated with soft toys, was originally a specific type of fabric, normally mohair, but "plush fabric" is a generic term covering any fabric, natural or synthetic, with a pile or nap, in other words, with short hairs or "vellosidades".

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plush

The page cited by Antoni is actually headed "Mendel's - Plush Fabrics!", so this is the generic term covering any fabric with this sort of finish.

"Shannon Fabrics is The leading importer and distributor of all types of plush fabrics. We carry the world's largest in-stock selection of fabulous Faux Furs, snuggly Cuddle fabrics, ultra plush Minky fabrics and super soft Silky Satin fabrics at wholesale prices."

Since he didn't add context I imagined he was referring to a texture similar to that of a "peach", with small soft fuzzy hair.
