Viyella fabric

I think this is probably a transliteration of the trade mark name Viyella which is a very fine woven woollen cloth.

Known as viyella or viyella fabric.

Viyella

how about simply "Viyella", as Viyella is a fabric, therefore I think that the addition of the word fabric is possibly tautological??
