Satin weave The warp and weft threads are crossed in a programmed order and frequency to obtain a flat appearance. As a result, one side of the fabric has more warp threads, while the back appears to consist mainly of weft threads. The higher the satin number (7 satin, 8 sarin), the higher the count of warp and weft threads. Sarin weaves allow production of fabrics with high mass per unit of surface area, and good drapability over molds. Different sarin patterns are used. See Eight-harness satin and four-harness satin. 

An eight-harness satin weave is a fabric that has a seven by one weave pattern in which a filling thread floats over seven warp threads and then under one. Like the crowfoot wave, it looks different on one side than on the other. This weave is more pliable than any of the other weaves and is especially adaptable to forming around compound curves.
