Oxford Chambray's weave is?

• A. Satin weave
• B. Twill weave
• C. Plain weave
• D. Basket weave 2x1

Answer: (D)

Oxford Chambray uses a basket weave, typically a 2x1 arrangement where two warp yarns pass over one weft yarn. This structure gives the fabric a subtle textured surface and durability that’s characteristic of Oxford fabrics, while Chambray describes the color effect—usually a colored warp with a lighter weft—creating a soft, heathered look. The other weaves produce clearly different surfaces (plain weave is flat and uniform, satin has long floats and sheen, twill shows diagonal lines), so the Oxford Chambray fabric is defined by its basket weave in a 2x1 setup.
