A crosswise yarn or thread in a weave perpendicular to selvage.

A crosswise yarn or thread in a weave perpendicular to selvage.

• A. Nylon
• B. Perpendicular
• C. Vinyl
• D. Weft

Answer: (D)

In weaving, the yarn that runs crosswise, from side to side across the fabric and perpendicular to the selvage, is called the weft. The warp yarns run lengthwise, parallel to the selvage, and the weft is woven through them to form the fabric. Nylon and vinyl are materials that could be used for yarns, but they aren’t the name of the crosswise yarn. “Perpendicular” describes a direction, not a specific yarn.
