Which fabric is composed of 68% acetate and 32% rayon and has a warp pile weave?

• A. Velveteen
• B. Velvet
• C. Terry cloth
• D. Jersey

Answer: (B)

Warp-pile velvet forms its soft surface by using an extra set of warp yarns to create the pile. This weave gives a dense, plush nap and a lustrous finish, which is exactly what a fabric made from a high acetate content with rayon adds—acetate brings shine and drape, while rayon adds softness. Velveteen, on the other hand, uses a cotton base with a pile that's usually produced by the weft (not warp) and is less lustrous. Terry cloth features loops rather than a cut nap, and jersey is a knit, not woven. So the combination of a warp-pile structure and the acetate–rayon blend points to velvet as the fabric described.
