Question

Match List - I with List - II.

List - I	List - II
A. Corduroy	I. Dobby
B. Brocade	II. Cut Pile
C. Terry towel	III. Jacquard
D. Bird's eye	IV. Uncut Pile

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. \( \text{A-I, B-III, C-II, D-IV} \)
• B. \( \text{A-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I} \)
• C. \( \text{A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I} \)
• D. \( \text{A-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II} \)

Hint:

Pile fabrics: If the loops are cut (like velvet or corduroy), it's "Cut Pile." If they are loops (like towels), it's "Uncut Pile."

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Concept: Fabric varieties are classified based on the complexity of the loom attachment used (Dobby/Jacquard) or the specific surface structure (Pile fabrics).

Step 1: Analyze the structural characteristics.

• Corduroy: This is a durable fabric with a "ribbed" surface. It is a Cut Pile fabric where the extra filling yarns are cut to create vertical ridges of tufts.
• Brocade: This is a heavy, decorative fabric featuring an elaborate raised pattern. Such intricate, non-repetitive designs require a Jacquard loom.
• Terry towel: Known for its absorbency, it is an Uncut Pile fabric where the loops are left intact on the surface.
• Bird's eye: This fabric features a small, geometric, repetitive diamond pattern. These simple patterns are produced using a Dobby attachment.
