Glazed Chintz weave?

• A. Twill
• B. Satin
• C. Rib
• D. Balanced plain weave

Answer: (D)

Glazed chintz gets its signature shine from finishing a plain weave fabric. The base fabric is a plain weave, typically a balanced plain weave where the warp and weft counts are the same, producing an even, tight fabric that takes the glaze well. The gloss comes from the glaze finish applied on top, not from the weave structure itself. Twill and satin have distinct surface patterns (diagonal lines for twill, long floats for satin) that aren’t how glazed chintz achieves its look, and rib involves raised textures. So the correct weave classification for glazed chintz is a balanced plain weave.
