This is a Multichannel Mixer using Brick as the Blender. I tiled the bricks 500 in each direction, 40 for the grout value and curves checked. Then each channel has slightly different color, highlight, shininess & reflectivity. Adding a bit of bump would probably help. And you need to watch the mapping mode. HTH Mark

Do you have "Shader ops" ? This plug-in is helpful to make a shader for the silk or satin.

Can you give us a screen shot of your shader? I looks great!
