Plain fabric with silk warp and wool weft, characterized by a hammered surface and a slight embossing. The use of a thin wool weft on the back is intended to "move" the surface. The natural movement that is created derives, in fact, from the difference in tension between the cotton and the wool wefts. A clear hammered effect accentuates its three-dimensionality and creates a play of light and shadow. The result is a quite heavy satin with a handcrafted appearance. It is suitable for decoration.
