Oil painting hard canvas is static, and a polished fabric is generally used for the supporting purpose, as shown in Figure 17.4a. The mesh of the fabric is very fine and non-stretchable. While mono canvas or needlepoint canvas is normally stable, weave canvas is generally used in many types of needlework or stiches (Figure 17.4b). Usually, it is available in the counts of mono 10, 12, 13, 14, 16, and 18. The numbers point out the size of the holes. Linen fabrics have a mismatched surface feature due to the combination of thin and thick threads (Figure 17.4c), which makes its surface slightly rough. We have used the Edinburgh linen of 36 count. Satin has smooth and shiny surface having a tighter weave. The threads of it were difficult to handle after using them for some time, due to their snagging and surface texture difference (Figure 17.4d).
Fabrication Processes

A satin weave is characterized by three or more weft yarns passing (“floating”) over a warp yarn or vice versa. A satin fabric tends to have a high luster because of the high number of “floats” (i.e., missed interlacings) on the fabric. The “harness” number used in the designation of satin (typically 4, 5, and 8) is the total number of fibers crossed and passed under, before the fiber repeats the pattern. A 3 × 1 harness-satin (see Figure 2.58) is referred to as a harness-satin 4, H4, or 4HS and a 4 × 1 harness-satin is referred to as a harness-satin 5 (5HS or H5). Satin weaves are very flat and have good wet out and a high degree of drape. A harness-satin bends over complex curves better than either a plain or a twill weave, and it almost always has more weaves per inch than the other two.
Testing of Composites and Their Constituents

Two primary parameters that define fabric construction are the filament count and weave of fabric. These parameters are crucial in the sense that fabric characteristics such as handleability, drapeability, stability, resultant fabric/ply thickness, transition of fiber properties to fabric properties, etc. are directly influenced by fabric construction. ASTM D3775 gives a standard procedure for the measurement of the filament count of fabrics; it involves the direct counting of filaments under appropriate magnification [14]. The common weave styles are plain weave, satin weave, twill weave, basket weave, etc.; there are several subtypes such as 4H satin, 8H satin, 2 × 2 twill, 2 × 1 twill, etc. A discussion on weave styles is given in Chapter 9.

In order to be consistent with the actual use scenario, urban residential water with a total hardness of less than 150 mg/L (as CaCO3) was used for all washing experiments (including pre-treatment) in this study, and the samples tested were a common 100% mulberry silk nightdress with a satin structure, as specified in Table 1. A total of eight one-piece nightdresses were used, from the same batch manufactured by High fashion Silk (Dali) Co., Ltd. (Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, China), a company specializing in high-grade silk products for men and women with great awareness and reputation in the global market, thus ensuring the stability of sample results. In addition to the high popularity, the satin weave was selected considering that the longer floats and fewer interweave points in its structure make the fabric softer and more glossy than plain weave and twill weave, which tends to cause a significant decrease in smoothness and glossiness after laundering, facilitating experimental observation. The reason for choosing light green was to eliminate the interference of fabric color on appearance evaluation as far as possible. In addition, the garment was simple in style with few seams, which can avoid the influence of sewing threads and other decorations on the fabric structure to a certain extent during the laundering process.
