Twill Fabrics
Twill Fabric
The twill weave is recognizable by the diagonal lines on a fabric. A weft twill and warp twill can be made with this binding. The weft or warp twill skips a regular number of threads. Therefore, there are fewer places of interlacing than with a plain weave. The weaving points always start one thread higher, they touch each other and form a diagonal line.
Why twill weave?
Compared to the plain weave, the twill weave results in a stronger and thicker fabric. Twill fabric is available in a variety of qualities. The fabric has variants that are airy and thin and are therefore great for warmer seasons. However, most twill fabrics are a bit thicker and sturdier. These are suitable for fall and winter clothing. Twill is a very strong weave. Twill fabric is a good choice for clothing that needs to be hard-wearing, such as work clothes, jeans and uniforms.
