Twill Weave – Introduction and Features
# Definition of Twill Weave:
A weave that repeats on three or more picks and produces diagonal lines on the face of the fabric is called Twill Weave. Twill Weave also can be defined as “The order of interlacing which causes diagonal lines of warp and weft floats to be formed on the cloth.
Features of Twill Weave:
Diagonal ribs are seen on the fabric.
These twill lines are produced by letting all warp ends interlace in the same way but displacing the interlacing points of each end and by one pick relative to that of the previous end.
- Twill lines are formed on both sides of the fabric (in opposite direction).
Smallest repeat is 3 × 3. It takes minimum 3 ends and 3 picks for producing twill weave.
It is common practice to use straight draft for producing twill fabric.
- Three or more heald shafts are required.
- Diagonal lines can be formed right to left or left to right.
Greater weight than woven fabric due to closer settings of yarn.
