A swatch-page article from Minnesota Weaver explaining the satin weave and its extension to damask. It covers the theory of satin as a rearranged twill on 5 or more shafts, using a circle diagram to derive the 2,4,1,3,5 order, and gives drafts for weft-faced and warp-faced satin on 5 shafts. It then extends these to a 10-shaft block damask threading and tie-up. It also gives sett recommendations for linen, silk, cotton and wool, design variations, a glossary and references.
