Which weave is used for Wool crepe?

• A. plain weave
• B. momie/crepe weave
• C. twill weave
• D. satin weave

Answer: (B)

Wool crepe gets its distinctive crinkled, pebbled surface from a crepe or momie weave. This weave intentionally creates irregular interlacing that breaks up the surface and gives the characteristic texture and drape of crepe fabrics. The other weaves produce different looks: plain weave yields a flat, uniform surface; twill shows diagonal ribs; satin has a smooth, glossy surface with long floats. So the crepe/momie weave best matches wool crepe’s textured, drapey hand.
