SILK is the fiber, what the fabric is made of.

SATIN is the weave, how the fabric is made.

You can have silk satin, or polyester satin, or hell even a cotton satin, but you cant have just. Satin fiber. Satin desribes the way the fabric is woven together.

#idk why im so passionate about this #they arent synonymous!#granted silk satin is the most common combo because extra shiny and smooth #but theoretically you could weave like.. idk fucking twine into a satin fabric #would it be comfortable? no!#but its possible!#satin is just like. big stretches between when the fibers are woven under and then over again #like burlap is for example a plain weave #which means that you have vertical threads and then youu have a thread that you pass through the vertical ones #plain weave means over one under one #satin means like. at least 4 over and then one under #and you space it out so it isnt like. too loose?#i love fsbric so much
