What does SATEEN mean in Scrabble?
noun
A cotton fabric woven in a satin weave to give it a glossy surface.
Sateen gets its shine from a construction technique borrowed from satin, in which many threads pass over several crossing threads before tucking under one, producing long, light-reflecting floats instead of the plain over-under pattern of ordinary cotton cloth-making. Because cotton fibers rather than silk carry that construction, the material costs far less than true satin while still catching light attractively. Home decorators favor sateen for bedding, drapery, and linings, where an inexpensive sheen matters more than the strength or drape of finer cloth. It also takes dye readily, which is why sateen appears in such a wide range of saturated colors.
