Antique satin: which statement describes its fiber arrangement?

Antique satin: which statement describes its fiber arrangement?

• A. Filament warp/ novelty, slub filling
• B. Warp-faced satin weave
• C. Piece dyed
• D. Dobby weave

Answer: (A)

In this context, fiber arrangement means which yarns run lengthwise in the warp versus across the fabric in the weft. Antique satin is typically made with filament yarns in the warp to give a smooth, lustrous lengthwise surface, while the filling uses novelty or slub yarns to add texture in the weft. This combination—filament warp with novelty, slub filling—best describes its fiber arrangement and explains its distinctive antique look. The other options refer to weave structure or dyeing methods, not the specific warp/weft yarn choices.
