Satin

Satin is another beautiful silk.

With its special weft and warp, it makes it an outstanding material for wedding and evening dresses.

Weft and warp means the way the threads are crossed in the weaving process.

Warp is vertical and parallel to each other, weft means horizontal.
It is woven in even threads horizontally and vertically.

It has a shiny satin side and a matt side.
It gives that wonderful luxurious feeling to a skin.

If you would like to do some silk-painting yourself, it is an excellent material to make lingerie, paintings, cushions and curtains or even wall-hangings.

The paints will flow in an easy way, making the colors stand out in brilliant glory, only truly possible with silk.
