Which fabric is described as having excellent absorbency and both sides look the same?

• A. Jacquard Double knit
• B. Pique knit
• C. Rib knit
• D. Interlock

Answer: (D)

Interlock fabric has a double-knit structure that interlocks two layers of stitches in the same way, so the front and back surfaces are essentially identical. That reversibility—both sides looking the same—is a hallmark of interlock. When made from absorbent fibers like cotton, the closely knit, evenly interlocked loops also provide good moisture absorption, giving excellent absorbency. Other fabrics listed have surfaces that differ from side to side or have textured patterns that aren’t the same on both faces (for example, textured pique or ribbed ridges), so they don’t meet the description as cleanly as interlock.
