Though originally of silk, it may be made of yarns of other fibres
Satin weaves are used in making satin fabrics, thereby the full-face color of the warp or the filling on the material is ensured For example, in an eight-shaft satin weave, the warp ends show on the face of the cloth only one interlacing in every eight; the filling would show on the face of the goods every seven out of eight interlacing
