Which fabric is described as having fulling/napping finish in its double cloth description?

• A. Corduroy
• B. Double cloth
• C. Pocket Cloth
• D. Matelasse

Answer: (B)

Fulling and nap are finishes that create a denser, softer, or fuzzy surface on fabric. When a description explicitly pairs a finish with a fabric described as double cloth, it points to the fabric’s weaving style itself being double cloth and then enhanced with those finishes to achieve a plush feel. Double cloth is woven in two layers at once, and finishing it with fulling or napping is a common way to emphasize a soft, textured surface. That combination—double cloth with a fulling or napping finish—fits the description given, so it’s the best match. The other fabrics have distinct surface or weave characteristics (corduroy’s pile and wales, pocket cloth’s construction, matelassé’s quilted look) and aren’t described in this way.
