Nowadays, bedding, in addition to its immediate function, for example, to close the mattress, carries an aesthetic load. Quality products surround and envelop a person going to bed. On beautiful and hygroscopic underwear is always a pleasure to relax. And luxurious bedding made using the satin-jacquard technique can serve as a wonderful gift.
Fabric Features
A long time ago, a fabric called satin appeared. It was popular because it looked like an expensive satin, but it cost much cheaper. Cotton and silk were used for its production, while only silk was used to make the atlas. The direct interweaving of threads was exactly the same, but in satin cheap cotton was hidden on the wrong side. The fabric most often went to the manufacture of lining materials.
Jacquard weaving was invented by a weaver from France at the beginning of the 19th century. Beautiful convex patterns appeared on the fabric. They could be floral, geometric and fantasy. Drawings were created due to the complex interweaving of threads. The fabric was dense, wear-resistant. Natural threads were used naturally: cotton, linen, wool and silk. The thicker the thread used in jacquard weaving, the stronger it is, and the pattern is more convex. Jacquard fabrics immediately found wide application in the manufacture of table and bed linen, upholstery, furniture, ties.
Both of these weaves were able to combine modern weavers and got linen fabric called satin-jacquard. Satin gives a pleasant shine and smoothness, and jacquard - an amazingly beautiful convex pattern, obtained due to the interweaving of yarn.
Fabric structure
Satin-jacquard composition is complex. When weaving bed linen, they use threads and cotton (traditionally), and viscose or polyester, as well as blended ones, that is, both of these components are included in the composition of the yarn. Polyester is a synthetic product, but it has elasticity, strength, wear resistance.
The fabrics that make up it are easier to wash and dry, shrinkage becomes less, as is the deformation of any product, which means that the sheet and duvet cover will never warp. These properties are possessed by satin-jacquard fabric due to its composition. Such products are washed at a temperature of 30 ° C, and a neutral powder is desirable.
Aesthetic properties
It must be said right away that the fabric is very beautiful both in itself and in the performance of bedding. It feels something royal. No words, the satin-jacquard is luxurious - the photo perfectly demonstrates its elegant and festive look.
Such underwear will be a wonderful gift for the newlyweds at the wedding: they need to acquire useful household items, so a set of linen made of satin-jacquard fabric will be quite appropriate. White linen, as well as all chocolate and deep burgundy shades, looks very elegant from this material. But, as a rule, since this underwear belongs to the premium class, it is most often produced in pastel shades - beige, golden, pale green, light blue and pink.
The pattern can be woven from the same color as the entire kit, but it can also be contrasted. In addition, the upper part of the kit is decided in one color, and the inside in another. It may be more saturated than the upper tone. If embroidery is added to the linen, then it will incredibly decorate the bedroom. It is also possible that the outer part is made of satin jacquard, and the one adjacent to the body is made of smoother satin. This is also a very good option.
