Which fabric is 100% polyester and uses filament and textured filament in a double weave with 2 warp, 2 filling, yarn dyed?

• A. Double cloth
• B. Pocket Cloth
• C. Matelasse
• D. Upholstery fabric

Answer: (C)

Matelassé is defined by a double weave that creates a padded, quilted appearance, as if the fabric is softly quilted from two interlaced layers. The construction described—two warp yarns and two fillings in a double weave, using filament and textured filament, and color achieved by yarn-dyed fibers—produces that subtle raised pattern and sheen typical of matelassé, especially in a 100% polyester version used for upholstery and drapery. The filament yarns provide a clean, smooth surface, while the textured filaments add the tactile variation that reads as a quilted texture once woven. This combination is the hallmark that makes matelassé the best fit for the description. Double cloth can resemble this but often involves more complex yarn sets or interlacing, and pocket cloth or a general upholstery fabric don’t inherently imply the specific two-by-two weave with the quilted effect described.
