- Satin is a weave, not a fiber name; long floats make one face of the fabric shiny and smooth.
- Sources differ on satin versus sateen: CottonWorks uses sateen for satin-weave fabric made from fibers other than silk, while Turkish calls both saten.
- According to CottonWorks, satin weave carries a risk of snagging, yarn pulls, skew and seam slippage.
- Seam slippage resistance is measured with the ISO 13936 series; for stretch satins containing elastane, the fixed-load method ISO 13936-2 is suitable.
- Cotton satins are used in products close to the skin such as bed linen and shirts, and filament satins in dresses, eveningwear, blouses and nightwear.
Guide to Satin

- Gizem Polat
Satin is a weave that makes one face of the fabric shiny and smooth; it is not the name of a fiber. This page is for buyers looking for satin woven fabric, from cotton satin for bedding and shirts to filament satins for dresses, eveningwear and scarves.
What does the satin fabric category cover?
Cotton satins, polyester, viscose, acetate and silk satins, and stretch satins containing elastane are searched under this category. Because satin is a weave, fabrics with the same name can be very different: cotton satin for bedding and polyester satin for eveningwear are separate products. For satin ribbons and tapes, see elastics and tapes; for garment linings with a satin construction, see lining fabrics. Companies that sew satin pajama sets are listed under pajamas and loungewear, and those that make ready-made scarves and shawls under scarves and hijabs. Chiffon, a thin, sheer woven fabric from the same woven-fabrics family, has its own page; the parent category is woven fabrics.
In a satin quote, ask about fiber, yarn type and seam slippage
- Fiber and yarn type. Filament-yarn and staple-fiber satins differ in face, handle and sewing behavior. Have both stated separately in the quote.
- GSM, width and density. Ask for the GSM and open width and, for bedding, the thread density with its unit.
- Luster and color. Luster changes with dyeing, printing and finishing. Use the approved sample as the reference and check color difference under light.
- Sewing performance. Because of its long-float structure, satin carries a risk of snagging, yarn pulls, skew and seam slippage (CottonWorks). If you will have it sewn by a CMT workshop, ask about the workshop's experience with satin.
- Certification. For products in contact with skin, such as bed linen and underwear, an OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 certificate may be requested. The certificate covers not the whole company but the products listed on it, so check whether your own fabric is on the list.
- MOQ, lead time, samples. Does the fabric come from a ready color, or will it be dyed or printed? For printed satin, ask for the minimum quantity per design.
In satin, fiber, yarn type and printing drive the price
Fiber (silk, cotton, viscose, polyester), yarn type, weave density and GSM, dyeing or printing (number of colors and designs), finishing and lot size set the price. When budgeting, add the loss and extra care in sewing to the fabric price.
Where are satin fabric firms in Turkey?
Satin has no product code of its own in the Industry Database of TOBB (the Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Turkey). Filament satins such as polyester and nylon fall under 13.20.31, woven fabrics of synthetic and artificial filament yarn; of the 366 firms holding a valid capacity report for that code, 257 are in Bursa (October 2026; TOBB). A capacity report is the document that records a plant's production capacity. Cotton and silk satins sit under other fiber codes and are not part of this count. For current addresses, filter the directory by province.
Test satin for snagging and seam slippage on the finished product
If you are buying bedding fabric, compare satin with ranforce and percale (bed linen fabrics). Sew the fabric with your own style and have it washed before ordering: snagging and seam slippage become visible only on the finished product.

Frequently asked questions
Is it enough to write only “satin” in an inquiry?
No. Satin is a weave, not a fiber name. Without the fiber (cotton, polyester, viscose, silk), yarn type (filament or staple), GSM, open width and luster, quotes cannot be compared. In English the satin and sateen distinction varies by source: CottonWorks uses “sateen” for satin-weave fabric made from fibers other than silk, while in common usage staple-fiber satins such as cotton are called sateen. Turkish calls both saten.
Why does seam slippage matter in satin?
In a long-float structure, yarns can slip out at the seam and open it. Seam slippage resistance in woven fabric is measured with the ISO 13936 series; for stretch satins containing elastane, the fixed-load method ISO 13936-2 is suitable. Ask for the test result, and discuss seam allowance and stitch settings with the manufacturer beforehand.
How do I choose between cotton satin and polyester satin?
By product and care instructions. Cotton satins are used in products close to the skin such as bed linen and shirts, while filament satins (polyester, silk, nylon) are used in dresses, eveningwear, blouses and nightwear, where a fluid drape is wanted. Target price and washing conditions are the second criterion.
What does the minimum order for satin fabric depend on?
It depends on whether the fabric comes from a ready color or will be dyed or printed. For printed satin, ask for the minimum quantity per design. Values differ from firm to firm, so get the minimum quantity and lead time in writing.
Where are satin fabric companies in Turkey?
The TOBB Industry Database has no product code for satin. Under the code for woven fabrics of synthetic and artificial filament yarn (13.20.31), which covers filament satins such as polyester and nylon, 257 of the 366 firms with a valid capacity report are in Bursa (October 2026). Cotton and silk satins are listed under other fiber codes, so this count does not include them.
