What is Sateen Fabric ?
- Sateen weave produces a closely woven satin-like fabric.
- It is usually made from cotton and has a smooth, shiny surface.
- The woven structure is made with spun yarns and not a filament.
- This is made by floating the weft yarns so that they dominate the face of the fabric. The visible interlacing of yarns is minimised so that the surface is completely flat and uniform.Instead on the one under, one over pattern that plain weave follows, it usually goes one under the warp yarns and then over several warp yarns.
History
- Italy was the first western country to weave Sateen.
