This monograph explains the satin interval and how the counts are placed in the tie up. There are sections on drafting satin, double stitched satin, and combining satin with other weave structures. Irregular satins are discussed for four and 6 shafts and a tie up for a 12 shaft comination of satin, twill and plain weave. There is an error in the draft which can be worked out with weaving software. The monograph includes some profile drafts that can be used with satins.

The last half of the monograph has instructions on pickup and inlay damask, some projects using satin tie ups. There is also a bibliography of satin references. ( )
