What is the yarn type listed for Drapery Casement 12?

• A. Knot or Spot
• B. Monofilament
• C. Novelty, Gimp/Ratine
• D. Twist Yarn

Answer: (C)

The question tests recognizing yarn types and matching a drapery swatch label to the correct category. For a drapery casement swatch, a decorative, textured yarn is often used to give visual interest and depth. Novelty yarns are designed for exactly that kind of effect, offering unusual textures and looks, such as loops or decorative filaments. Gimp and ratine are specific examples within the novelty family that create surface texture rather than a smooth, uniform strand. In contrast, knot or spot refers to intentional knots or visible spots in the yarn, monofilament is a single smooth filament, and twist yarn describes standard, uniformly twisted yarns without added decorative texture. Those options don’t capture the textured, embellished character typical of drapery casement designs, which is why novelty yarns—specifically gimp or ratine—are the best fit.
