Dimity's weave structure is what?

• A. Basket weave, cord effect
• B. Plain weave
• C. Twill weave
• D. Sateen weave

Answer: (A)

Dimity gets its distinctive surface from a basket weave that forms tiny cords or ridges across the fabric. In a basket weave, groups of warp threads interlace with groups of weft threads, creating a textured, ribbed effect rather than a flat plane. When this structure is used for dimity, those grouped threads produce a subtle cord-like texture on the surface, giving the fabric its characteristic “cord” effect and light, airy feel. Other weave types produce different surface appearances—plain weave is flat, twill shows diagonal lines, and sateen has a smooth, lustrous surface—so the corded texture points to the basket weave structure.
