What does SATIN mean in Scrabble?
noun
A fabric woven so that the threads running one way float over several threads running the other way, giving one side a smooth, glossy surface and the other a duller, matte finish.
Satin gets its shine from the weave itself rather than from any special fibre, though the fabric was traditionally made from silk and is now often made from polyester or a blend. The long floats of thread reflect light evenly, which is why satin gowns and linings catch the light so noticeably. Because the weave leaves fewer crossing points, satin also feels smoother against the skin than plain-woven cloth but snags and frays more easily. Designers use satin for eveningwear, linings and bedding wherever a lustrous finish is wanted.
How SATIN is used
A common word in fashion, sewing and homeware, used for both the fabric and its glossy finish.
