Definition: A cloth woven from silk, nylon or polyester with a glossy surface and a dull back. (The same weaving technique applied to cotton produces cloth termed sateen).
Alright class, settle down now, letโs take a look today,
At the word "satin," in a lovely way!
The dictionary tells us, clear and bright,
It's a fabric woven with shimmering light.
(Think of a dancer gliding, smooth and slow,)
Made from silk, or nylon โ you know how to go!
Or even polyester, a modern treat,
With a glossy surface, oh so sweet!
But hold on tight, thereโs something more to see,
A dull back is part of its quality!
(Like velvet's touch, but with a sheen,)
The weaving technique โ quite keen!
Cotton can be woven just the same,
And called โsateen,โ itโs a beautiful name.
So remember this lesson, don't you fret,
"Satin" is a fabric, wonderfully set!
Do you have any questions? Letโs discuss with glee,
Now who can tell me where satin might be seen, you see?
