History of Satin

Originated from China, Satin is one of the most smooth and silky fabrics to be used in fancy dresses and gowns. The main originality of satin was the 5-end wrap weaved during the dynasty of Northern Song. `

In the 12th century, Italy became the 1st country to produce satin and by mid - the 14th century, it became available all across Europe. However, using silk made the fabric expensive so it was reserved only for the upper class.

Satin Weave

The knitting of satin can be distinguished by the weft of three or more threads going over or opposite of another thread. During the process of weaving the threads are halted so that they can be woven over and beneath the weft. 

Satin consists of numerous variations still it has a long, unbroken yarn that shines and gives a shimmering effect on its surface. 

Whilst the front side of the satin looks and feels luxurious, the backside of the fabric looks the opposite. This is due to the procedure of weaving the cloth, as it makes the final fabric much more lustrous.
