Satin

Satin
SATIN
Originally a silk cloth with warp predominating over weft. The weft is almost completely covered, giving a very smooth warp face. The best satin weaves are those in which the intersections are distributed widely and equidistantly spaced. Satin weaves can be made on any number of ends and picks above four, but the perfect satins, e.g., those in which the intersections are equidistant in warp and weft are few, see examples numbered 5, 10 and 13. The 8-end satin also has good distribution of the intersections. In all satin weaves each thread and pick intersects once only in each repeat. This permits fabrics to be made with a greater number of warp threads per inch than picks; or a greater number of picks per inch than warp threads. In both cases maximum smoothness of surface appearance is obtained, especially when the Schreiner finish is applied. A great variety of fabrics are made in the satin weave; silk, rayon, wool, cotton, flax, etc., are all used. Silk satins very often have a cotton back formed by using cotton yarn as weft.
