Raschel Knit Lace commonly uses which yarn type?

100% Polyester Filament & Textured Filament Wool Blends Silk Luxury Fiber

Correct Answer:

Filament & Textured Filament

Explanation:

Raschel Knit Lace relies on filament-type yarns because the warp-knit structure needs smooth, continuous strands to form crisp, delicate openwork patterns. Filament yarns provide a uniform thickness and low pilling, which helps create the fine lace fabric without snagging. When those filaments are textured, they gain some bulk and elasticity, improving coverage and hand feel while still allowing the intricate motifs to be produced by the machine. This combination—filament and textured filament—matches how Raschel lace is typically made. While natural fibers like wool or silk can appear in specialty laces, and 100% polyester is a filament option, the broader category of filament and textured filament yarns best describes the yarn form commonly used in Raschel lace.
