Question

Rank the below-mentioned fibers as per their drapability property from high to low.
A. Cotton
B. Flax
C. Wool
D. Silk
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. A, B, C, D
• B. D, C, A, B
• C. B, A, D, C
• D. C, B, D, A

Hint:

Drapability: Silk>Wool>Cotton>Flax.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Understanding drapability.
Drapability is the ability of a fabric to fall into graceful folds. Fibers with fine, smooth, and flexible structure have higher drapability.
Step 2: Ranking fibers.
- Silk has the highest drapability due to its smooth filament structure.
- Wool has good drapability because of its crimp and elasticity.
- Cotton has moderate drapability.
- Flax (linen) is stiff, giving the lowest drapability.
Step 3: Conclusion.
The order from high to low is D (Silk) → C (Wool) → A (Cotton) → B (Flax).
