Which term describes a fabric created by looping yarns that has elasticity?

• A. Seam Allowance
• B. Place on Fold
• C. Spool Pin
• D. Knit

Answer: (D)

Knitted fabrics are produced by forming yarns into interlocking loops. That looping structure lets the fabric bend and stretch, and then snap back into place, which is the elasticity you feel. The term that describes a fabric created this way and that has that stretch is knit. The other terms refer to sewing actions or machine parts rather than how fabric is formed: seam allowance is extra fabric added at seams, place on fold tells you to cut along a fold line, and spool pin is a machine part that holds the thread spool.
