Satin Weave

Introduction

Satin weave, although more complicated, is a flexible type of weave than the plain weave. It is called ‘satin’ when filament fibers such as silk or nylon are used and is called ‘sateen’ when short-staple yarns like cotton is used to make it.

The satin weave is lustrous with a smooth surface and it drapes in an excellent manner.

THE EXAMPLES of satin weave fabrics are brocade, brocatelle, crepe-satin, satin, peau de soie, velvet satin etc.
