Everything about Satin totally explained
Satin is a
cloth that typically has a glossy surface and a dull back. It is a
warp-dominated
weaving technique that forms a minimum number of interlacings in a fabric. If a fabric is formed with a
satin weave using
filament fibers such as
silk,
nylon, or
polyester, the corresponding fabric is termed a "satin". If the yarns used are
short-staple yarns such as
cotton, the fabric formed is considered a
sateen.
A satin-woven fabric tends to have a high luster due to the high number of "floats" on the fabric. Floats are "missed" interlacings, where the
warp yarn lies on top of the
weft yarn, or vice versa. The floats tend to make the fabric look glossier as well as give it a smoother "hand" in most cases.
Many variations can be made of the basic satin weave including a
Granite weave and a
Check weave.
Satin weaves,
twill weaves, and
plain weaves are the three basic types of weaving by which the majority of woven products are formed.
Satin is commonly used in apparel: satin
baseball jackets, athletic
shorts, women's
lingerie,
nightgowns, and
evening gowns, but also in some men's
boxer shorts, shirts and
neckties, interior furnishing fabrics, upholstery, and
bed sheets. It is also used in the production of
pointe shoes for use in
ballet.
