Satinet
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Satinet is a finely-woven fabric with a finish resembling satin, but made partly or wholly from cotton or synthetic fiber.[1] The process developed in Mesopotamia around 5000BC.[1] The fibers may be natural (as with cotton, woolens or cashmere wool) or synthetic.[1]
The process of manufacturing satinets in the U.S. began circa 1820 at the Capron Mill in Uxbridge, Massachusetts.[2]
