Fabric Friday: Satin weave and satin

[Rue_de_la_Paix]

Barbara, there are cotton satins—not that I've seen them in person. Apparently cotton can be used for a satin weave as well as sateen. .

Yes, Maggie, I learned that at my mother's knee when I was a young child. I was just adding to the other comment about satin versus sateen when it comes to cotton. I only have a few samples of cotton satins. Lots of cotton sateens though.

Ohhhh! No rush at all, but if you can share a photo of that cotton satin, I'd be very thankful. I can't say I've seen it, and searching online is worthless.

Agree. When I dig it out of the rafters I will post it. I have a photo but it is on one of those old hard floppies!

This is from 2014 but still available, there's a new issue coming out this November, so the "old" one is available for a little less. I figured that was an argument to buy it! Of course it focuses on modern fabrics and it does have it's limitations, but it's a start.

Oooooh. There's something to put on my Xmas list!
