Sateen

Summary

Sateen is a fabric made using a satin weave structure but with spun yarn instead of filament yarn.[1] It is a cotton or other non-silk fabric that has the characteristics of silk satin but is less expensive.[2]

The dense weave, sheen, and softer feel of sateen are produced through the satin weave structure.[3] Standard plain weaves use a one-over, one-under structure. For a satin weave, warp yarns are floated over weft yarns, for example four over and one under (for a five-harness satin weave).[4] In a weft-faced satin or sateen, the weft yarns are floated over the warp yarns. This weave structure is prone to fraying and is less durable than plain weave fabrics.[2]

Some sateen is mercerized, a chemical process that makes fibers softer, smoother, and more resilient.[5]

Care edit

Unlike its silk counterpart, cotton sateen is easy to maintain since it is machine washable. It can also be air dried or tumble dried with minimal to moderate shrinkage.[2] Sateen can wrinkle, but wrinkles can be ironed out easily using the cotton setting of an iron.[6] For garments made of sateen, follow the recommended laundering instructions.

Uses edit

Sateen comes in a variety of colors and weights. It has a variety of uses, from bedsheets[2] to drapery lining[3] and other home decor, to clothing such as dresses, skirts, jackets, and more.[6]
