Which fabric is 60% polyester and 40% cotton, featuring textured filament warp, textured filament and spun filling, jacquard weave, and yarn dyed?

• A. Damask
• B. Jacquard Upholstery
• C. Tapestry
• D. Bird's eye pique

Answer: (C)

This description points to tapestry as the fabric type. A tapestry is made on a jacquard loom, which lets designers create complex, multicolored patterns. Using a textured filament yarn in the warp along with a mix of textured filament and spun yarns in the weft gives the fabric rich surface texture and depth—hallmarks of tapestry’s tactile, woven-in design. Yarn-dyed means the colors are added to the yarns before weaving, which produces the varied, long-lasting color patterns seen in tapestry fabrics. The 60% polyester and 40% cotton blend adds durability and a bit of softness, a common choice for upholstery tapestries. Damask also uses a jacquard weave but typically features more subtle, reversible satin–like patterns and isn’t described with this combination of textured warp and mixed weft. Bird’s eye pique centers on a small, raised dot pattern created by a different dobby/pique structure, not a jacquard, and doesn’t align with the described textured warp and yarn-dyed, multicolor tapestry feel. Jacquard upholstery as a label is too broad; tapestry specifies the distinct heavy, patterned, multicolor woven design inherent to tapestries.
