What is the difference between satin and silk?
Satin is a weave
Satin is a weave that typically has a glossy surface and a dull back. The satin weave is characterized by four or more fill or weft yarns floating over a warp yarn or vice versa, four warp yarns floating over a single weft yarn. Floats are missed interfacings, where the warp yarn lies on top of the weft in a warp-faced satin and where the weft yarn lies on top of the warp yarns in weft-faced satins. If a fabric is formed with a satin weave using filament fibres such as silk, nylon, or polyester, the corresponding fabric is termed a satin.
Silk is Natural fiber
Silk is spun from the natural silk protein filament produced by the silk worm when forming its cocoon. Mulberry silk is the most common among the many kinds of silk. It makes up 90% of the silk supply in the world.
