Twill Weave

Glossary

A weave in which the weft is passed over and then under multiple warp threads in a repetitive sequence. It produces a pattern of diagonal parallel ribs on the fabric face in which, depending on the sequence used, the warp or weft may be more prominent. The structure makes the resulting fabric suitable for draping.
