Beautiful bed linen from satin

Visiting online stores of bed linen in St. Petersburg or Moscow, you can see on sale a huge number of beautiful sets of bed linen, sewn from natural cotton fabric. The best ones are those that are made of satin. What is this fabric? How does it differ from other types of cotton fabric?

A bit of history. The name of the fabric "Satin" is of Arab origin. In fact, initially it sounded like this: "Zagruni". A strong change in the morphological structure of the name is due to the fact that the word migrated to French, and then it became known throughout the world. However, the Arabic origin of the name of the fabric, does not yet say that for the first time satin was made by the Arabs. In fact, this fabric first appeared in ancient China, in the province known as "Quanzhou". It was in China used to make the most exquisite materials. The Great Silk Road ran through this country , which allowed the Arabs, who were known for their developed trade, to bring to their country a cloth of exceptional quality.

Satin in its quality combines all the benefits of natural cotton and beautiful appearance. The fabric does not cause irritation on the skin, as it absorbs moisture well and lets in air. Moreover, the surface of the satin is very smooth. What is the result of such a result? The fact is, during the manufacture of the material, a special method of interlacing threads is used. It is known as a satin weave. This indicates that the ratio of threads during weaving is 1: 4.

Today, satin is made in many cities in the territory of the post-Soviet space. There are quite a few types of sateen. Among these species, you can list mako-satin, stripe-satin and jacquard satin. The most expensive is jacquard satin. Usually this fabric is monophonic, and the figure on it appears due to a special intertwining of threads. Glitter is refracted in various ways and this creates a subtle pattern. However, there are beautiful sets of bed linen and colored satin. For example, on sale you can see elite bed linen made of satin with a 3 D effect . Such bed linen differs first of all in its beautiful appearance. A large picture on the fabric literally comes to life and allows you to immerse yourself in a world of unique beauty ... For example, it can be a very beautiful large flower, and maybe some famous romantic place, such as the square in Paris with a view of the Eiffel Tower and many others.

Of course, if on the pages of the Moscow online bed-clothes store you see a picture of bed-clothes with a 3D effect, it is worth considering that such bed linens in reality will be slightly different from what can be seen in the picture. In this case, you can take into account that the picture on the fabric does not look the way it would look, for example, on photo paper. This is because the surface of the fabric is not so smooth and in any case has certain roughness. And yet on the satin the picture looks exceptionally beautiful, because, as already mentioned above, the fabric is distinguished by a pleasant silky surface with a peculiar luster.
