satin. I was looking for something to line my clothing with....not
silk...tried that and it felt real rough and i am looking for the
oposite of rough....more smooth than satin if something like this
exists........hopeing someone can advise........preferably nothing too
expensive as i'm not rich....

many thanks in advance......A

There's different types of silk, and some of it does have a rough texture,
but... have you ever felt silk charmeuse?

The smoothness or otherwise of silk depends on the weave. Satin is a
weave not a fibre, and the smoothest satin I ever felt was woven from
silk. I use a poly habotai light weight lining for most things, but it
is just light weight. You need different types of lining for different
things: light habotai for dresses, haevy twilled satin for coats, etc.

The smoother it is the more expensive, usually. This is because the
smoothest fabrics tend to have the finest threads and tightest weaves. You
get what you pay for!
Try asking for 'peachskin' and see what you are offered....
