Which fabric is described as fiber dyed and has matter luster?

• A. Tussah Silk drapery
• B. China Silk
• C. Handkerchief Ramie
• D. Handkerchief Linen

Answer: (A)

Fiber dyeing means the color is added to the fiber before the yarns are formed, giving a more even, subdued color and often a softer, matte surface. Tussah silk drapery uses wild silk fibers that are naturally coarser and have a duller sheen. When these fibers are dyed at the fiber stage and woven into drapery fabric, the result is a fabric with matte luster rather than a bright, high shine. This combination—fiber-dyed coloring of a naturally matte, textured silk—fits the description best. The other options tend toward brighter shine or different finishes, so they don’t match the fiber-dyed, matte-luster characteristic as closely.
