Which fabric has warp-faced satin weave and is piece dyed?

• A. Moire print satin
• B. Crepeback satin
• C. Filling sateen
• D. White on white

Answer: (B)

Warp-faced satin weave means the warp yarns dominate the surface, producing a smooth, lustrous face where the warp floats are prominent. Crepeback satin fits this because it uses a satin weave on the face, giving that glossy warp-dominated surface, while the back has a crepe texture. It’s also commonly sold as piece dyed, meaning the fabric is dyed after weaving in one solid color, rather than being dyed yarns or printed. The other options don’t meet both criteria: a weft-dominated sateen would be filling/sateen rather than warp-faced; a moire satin has a moire finish pattern rather than being defined by warp-face structure; and “white on white” doesn’t specify a warp-faced satin that's also piece dyed.
