Which fabric uses filament yarn?

• A. Handkerchief Ramie
• B. China Silk
• C. Tussah Silk drapery
• D. Handkerchief Linen

Answer: (B)

Filament yarn comes from long, continuous fibers, which lets fabrics have a smooth surface, good drape, and strong, even yarns. Silk is naturally produced as filaments, so fabrics labeled China Silk are typically made with filament silk yarns, giving that characteristic sheen and flow. Ramie and linen rely on shorter, staple fibers that are spun into yarns, which produces a different texture and appearance than filament yarns. Tussah silk can be spun because its fibers are often shorter, so tussah silk drapery is commonly made with spun yarn rather than true filament yarn. Because of these differences, China Silk best exemplifies the use of filament yarn.
