What Is Sateen?

Yesterday we mentioned that Percale is a plain weave material that is typically 180 thread count or higher. Sateen, on the other hand, is very smooth and shiny. It is a cotton weave but instead of one over and one under, it is four over, one under. The four threads line up in such a way to provide softness and that shine. It drapes better than a plain weave.
