Why can textile art be connected with both craft and design?

It can include thread, cloth, pattern, and hand skill

Textile art connects craft and design because it combines material skill with planned visual organisation and often has a practical purpose. An artist or craftsperson may select fibres, thread, yarn, cloth, dyes, stitches, weaving methods, or surface treatments, then arrange colours, motifs, borders, textures, and patterns. The making process requires hand skill and care, which reflects craft. The decisions about appearance, proportion, repetition, and function reflect design. Option A correctly includes thread, cloth, pattern, and hand skill. Option B belongs to performance, C to literary or musical expression, and D is false because textile work can produce useful as well as decorative objects such as clothing, bags, mats, or wall hangings.
