Satin Weave
Satin weave is characterized by four or more weft yarns floating over a warp yarn or vice versa giving the weave an even sheen and elegant, light reflecting luster not seen in other weaves. The appearance of the satin weave has, over time, been commonly referred to as silky.
Silk Charmeuse
Charmeuse fabric is woven with a satin weave. The front side of the fabric has a beautiful satin finish — lustrous and reflective — whereas the back has a dull finish. Silk charmeuse is more luxurious, refined and delicate. Charmeuse differs from plain satin in that charmeuse is softer and lighter in weight and acts as a better insulator.
