An article from Master Weaver No. 31 (January 1957) explaining satin and sateen weaves, opening with a legend about silk prices in the Roman Empire. It distinguishes true satin, plain satin and sateen, describes four-shaft satinet, and shows how to draw down a satin on 5 or more shafts using the 'move' rule. It also explains which shaft counts yield satins, includes a table of satins from 5 to 16 shafts with their moves, and gives advice on yarn and sett.
