Swatch Kit Textiles Practice Test

Which option lists common uses for calico?

Children's wear and curtains Fine jewelry and leather goods Electronic components and glassware Brewing equipment and roofing

Correct Answer:

Children's wear and curtains

Explanation:

Calico is a plain-woven cotton fabric that’s lightweight, breathable, and affordable. Those qualities make it ideal for everyday wear, especially for children, because it’s comfortable to touch and easy to wash. It’s also a common choice for home textiles like curtains, since it drapes well and is inexpensive enough for simple, practical décor. The other options point to materials and uses that don’t align with fabric like calico—fine jewelry and leather goods involve metals and leather, while electronic components, glassware, brewing equipment, and roofing rely on materials other than plain cotton fabric. So pairing children’s wear with curtains captures the typical, everyday uses of calico.
