Stripe satin bedding
The fabric known as stripe satin is a new generation of satin fabric. A special weaving technique gives the fabric an impressive look, the result of which is the appearance of alternating shiny and matte stripes. This gave the material the name stripe, which means “strip” in English.
Noble "striped" is made from natural cotton and belongs to premium fabrics. It is a durable and pleasant to the touch fabric, visually reminiscent of silk and jacquard.
Features of the fabric
Stripe satin is almost identical to jacquard by its properties. Its main feature lies in the characteristic striped pattern, which does not appear through printing, but because of the special interweaving of two types of threads.... The main threads intertwined with each other form an interesting ornament, and the weft threads - a smooth structure. Some manufacturers ennoble the fabric by adding special gold and mother-of-pearl threads to its composition.
A feature of the stripe is that both the front and back sides look the same.
The designs on "striped" satin differ from the floral motifs on jacquard. These are more restrained combinations of geometric shapes, stripes, patterns. At the same time, the material cannot be designated as inexpressive: by combining stripes and patterns, manufacturers create all new original modern models.
The range of colors is presented in a variety of colors and shades, since staining is done without problems. As a standard, muted tones are used to make bed linen from stripe satin, but bright and deep shades often appear in the collections of individual manufacturers., including dark kits. Due to the property of the dye to dye the thread along the entire depth of the product, uniformly and persistently colored, not subject to fading, are obtained.
Dense and high-quality stripe satin is 100% cotton, which makes the fabric soft, while at the same time giving it strength and durability. The density can be in the range of 120-180 g / m². If there is no information on this on the package, it is not difficult to determine the density by examining the fabric in the light. Through a high-quality canvas of fabric, even in good light, the silhouettes of nearby objects or people will be barely distinguishable. Distinct outlines indicate insufficient density of the satin stripe.
