This fabric is woven in USA from American cotton, as a base fabric for finishing into blackout blinds. It is a midweight sateen weave, and the floated warp of this structure gives it a softer, drapier texture than the same yarn in a standard twill weave. Originally intended to be coated with plastic, this fabric takes dyes particularly well.
Garment dyeing raw cotton garments accentuates the manufacturing processes, shrink- ing the seams and bringing out latent texture from the yarn. Direct dyes lie over the top of the fabrics and sewing threads, rather than reacting with the makeup of the fibres themselves, and give a slightly less uni- form colour which shows up variations in texture and character of the garment.
The hadal zone, named for the Greek underworld, Hades, is the deepest oceanic zone, below the sunlight zone, the twilight zone, the midnight zone and the abyss.
