{i} type of fabric with a shiny finish and a soft texture
If something such as a paint, wax, or cosmetic gives something a satin finish, it reflects light to some extent but is not very shiny. a type of cloth that is very smooth and shiny (probably from zaytuni, from Zaytun ancient Chinese port (probably Tsinkiang)). having a smooth shiny surface. Fabric constructed by the satin weaving method, one of the three basic textile weaves. Satin weave superficially resembles twill but does not have the regular step in each successive weft that characterizes twills. Thus, there is no strong diagonal line, and the fabric is smooth-faced, with an unbroken surface made up of long floating warp yarns. Because satins are susceptible to the wear caused by rubbing and snagging, they are considered luxury fabrics. Satin is made in different weights for various uses, including dresses (particularly evening wear), linings, bedspreads, and upholstery. 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
