Description
This satin falls heavy and smooth — the fabric for occasion wear, linings and anything meant to read refined. The web measures 145 cm across; its weight comes to 115 g/m². Its composition reads 100 % cotton.
Black sits at the dark end and cannot be mistaken for any other tone. If you sew fluid goods for the first time, lay tissue paper under the seam; it stops puckering. Fabric by the metre is cut in one piece; your ordered length arrives as a single cut. If unsure, order a little more — a later order may come from a different batch.
What Satin in Black is suitable for
- wide trousers and skirts
- sheers and light curtains
- occasion wear

Frequently asked questions
How do I recognise good drape?
By its behaviour over your hand: a fabric with drape falls into soft folds instead of standing. The softer the drape, the wider the cut may be without looking shapeless.
May it go in the dryer?
Better not. Viscose shrinks noticeably there, and polyester does not need it since it dries fast anyway. Hung up and pressed slightly damp, both look better.
What do I do with offcuts?
Facings, pocket bags, bindings and hair ties. Fluid goods work well even in narrow strips, as long as the edge is enclosed. For neckerchiefs and hair ties an offcut that would otherwise be scrap is plenty.
How do I finish thin wovens?
Most cleanly with a French seam: the raw edges are enclosed in the seam and nothing shows outside. Alternatively with an overlocker, if the fabric is not too fine.
