Satin is, first of all, a Silk fabric, because of the sheen of theSilk filaments. If a scoured thread be laid across the light, itwill shine at its best. In a loom the threads are crossed, as thesplints are crossed in a basket. If we take four yards of carpeta yard wide, there are threads four yards long, running the longway. This is the warp.
