Twill Fabrics

What is twill and why buy this fabric

Twill is a versatile fabric weave characterised by its diagonal lines, which are created by an offset in the warp threads. Twill is popular because it is very durable and hides stains well, and it is used for jeans, furniture coverings, bags, and more. The most popular fibres used for twill weaves are cotton and polyester, or a blend of the two. In weaving twill, the the horizontal thread is woven over one or more warp threads (the vertical thread held taught on a loom) and then under one or more warp threads. Each row is offset from the one above, which creates the diagonal pattern. Twill weaves are cathegorized into fractions to denote how they were woven. For example, a twill labeled as 3/1 means that the weft is woven over three warp threads and under one warp thread.
