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

• A. Double cloth
• B. Matelasse
• C. Corduroy
• D. Pocket Cloth

Answer: (B)

Matelassé fabrics are defined by a woven, quilted-looking texture achieved through a double weave construction, often using two warps and two fillings. When you use 100% polyester with filament and textured filament yarns, and dye the yarns before weaving (yarn-dyed), you get a fabric with added shine, depth, and tactile pattern that reads as raised and padded. This combination—double weave with two warp and two filling, plus yarn-dyed filament yarns—produces the characteristic textured, quilted surface of matelassé. The other fabrics don’t match this setup: corduroy relies on pile with ridges; double cloth is a two-layer structure not inherently conveying the quilted look; pocket cloth is any fabric used for pockets and doesn’t specify this double-weave, textured yarn construction.
