Muslin #108 weave?

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

Answer: (D)

Muslin is traditionally made with a plain weave, where each warp yarn interlaces with a weft yarn in an over-under pattern. When described as a balanced plain weave, it means the fabric has roughly the same number of warp and weft threads per inch and there are no long floats, giving an even, matte surface and simple hand. This matches Muslin #108. Twill shows diagonal ridges from the weft crossing under or over multiple warp yarns, not a plain interlacement. Satin features long floats that create a smooth, shiny surface, and herringbone is a patterned variation of twill with a zigzag effect. So the weave of Muslin #108 is balanced plain weave.
