1 Farmers' Satin
A good quality satin fabric, woven from cotton warp and wool weft. Used as a lining material and finished with a lustre. The satin weaves on 5, 7, 9 and 11 ends are variously used. The 9-shaft satin weave is most used. Introduced about 1842 in the American market in black and other dark colours it soon received great favour and lighter colours were supplied. Although intended for linings only, the cloth was soon taken up for women's dresses. Made in 27-in. and 32-in. (Also known as Italian satin)
