Which fabric is described as having poor absorbency and is designed with prints from paper, used for shirts and children's dresses?

• A. Ripstops
• B. Calico
• C. Interlock
• D. Ikat

Answer: (C)

Absorbency is shaped by how tightly the fabric is bonded together. Interlock is a double-knit fabric with a smooth, compact surface formed by interlocking two knit layers. That tight construction reduces porosity, so moisture doesn’t move through as easily as it does in looser weaves or single-knit fabrics. At the same time, its stable, soft hand makes it ideal for shirts and children's dresses, and the smooth surface can hold printed designs crisply, which fits the idea of prints presented on a surface. Other fabrics described here don’t fit as well: Ripstop is a rugged woven with reinforcement grid; Calico is a plain cotton weave known for higher absorbency; Ikat refers to a dyeing pattern technique rather than a fabric structure.
