Satin is a way to combine different threads:silk, cotton, polyester and others. Thanks to this variety of starting material and the nuances of weaving technique, an impressive line of fabrics, based on satin weave, is constantly being replenished. The materials are characterized by brilliant silkiness, which gives the canvases of handicraft and factory work a festive, refined look. Such fabric is in great demand among consumers and is widely used where it is necessary to create an atmosphere of rich decoration. Satin ribbons and lace are in the wardrobe of every girl, girl, and woman.
Signs of satin weave
The homeland of sateen is China.The word "satin" is a derivative of the name of Zeytun province in southern China. Initially, the fabric was made of silk. The satin weave has the following features: four or more single (weft) threads seem to float above the warp, or vice versa, the four main threads hover over one weft.
Unlike other weaves, fibersbend less often, which allows to obtain a spectacular surface. The radiance of sateen at all times was especially appreciated by ladies: satin weaving laces magically decorated dresses. True, the tailor has a hard time: due to the fact that the threads of threads in the production of material have less compression, satin fabrics are obtained loose on the cut. But their abrasion resistance is excellent.
Brilliantly!
Next, consider the details of the brilliant technique.weave and figure out how to make a satin weave out of paper. Such work interests almost all beginning needlewomen, it is studied at labor lessons in schools, specialized colleges and universities. Since the satin weave belongs to the category of simple (main, basic), the basics of weaving, dating back to China of the XII century, are available to everyone.
“Ducks” and “base” are words that are not well known.only professional weavers, but also masters of arts and crafts. Weft threads, which are called the horizon, are laid across, and the main threads (vertical) are placed longitudinally.
Technique: vertical and horizontal
On the loom woven cloth, includingsatin, manufactured according to the following algorithm: warp threads (vertical) alternately and in a wave bend (partially rise, partially descend). In the resulting gaps are sent, as if diving duck, vertical threads (weft). Before each next prokidkoy different groups of threads are raised.
So gradually the first centimeters of canvas are born.On an industrial scale, these are such volumes of woven products that it can probably be wrapped around the globe many times. Satin satin weave is called for a particularly brilliant and sleek look. However, satin and atlas can still be distinguished. Below is a satin weave.
Positive negative
Итак, основа с утком в сатиновом переплетении interacts through single basic or weft overlaps. Within the rapport (a part of the pattern that repeats all the time), the weaves alternate evenly, without touching each other: the floorings of one system of threads seem to “dissolve” single slabs of the other, make them invisible, as a result the fabric begins to shine.
Satin and satin weave are distinguished as follows:if there are more weft floorings on the front side, we have satin. If on the front side there are more main ceilings, this is an atlas. It can be said that satin weave is satin negative. If you need to enhance the satin and shine of sateen - increase the density of the duck. If necessary, strengthen these parameters in the atlas - increase the density of the base. Patterns for many fabrics are created on the basis of satin design elements. Below you can see the satin weave.
Satin rhombuses and squares
Rapport (repeat) satin weave isa simple fraction, in which the numerator is the number of threads in the rapport, and the denominator is the amount of overlap shift. For sateens, a shift along the weft is indicated from left to right, for atlases, a shift along the warp from top to bottom. For rapport sateen (satin) you need at least 5 threads. The motif, from the repetition of which the fabric texture is composed, is calculated using a special formula.
Satin weave of paper and fabric canform diamonds, parallelograms, squares - it depends on the location of single slabs. The single thread most evenly falls in square satin (atlas). 5-knit satin weave is used in the manufacture of many fabrics, ranging from thin for light stylish clothes to parts for heavy industrial structures, including seat belts.
Although this weave is the most common, there are other satin designs that use 4 and 8 strand bundles.
Paper and satin are two things compatible.
The photo above shows how to make satinpaper weave. It is necessary to prepare paper strips of different widths of two colors (imitation of weft and main yarns). Creating “paper satin”, it is easier to understand what a “contact field” (weaving and warp threads intersect when crossing it) where the threads do not touch), “lumen fields” (through main and weft pores). The satin weave of paper needs to be reproduced more carefully than, say, plain linen. Especially important is the counting alternation.
