Twill fabric is a type of textile weave with a pattern of diagonal parallel ribs. It is one of the three fundamental types of textile weaves, along with plain weave and satin. Twill is made by passing the weft thread over one or more warp threads, then under two or more warp threads, and so on, with a "step," or offset, between rows to create the characteristic diagonal pattern. Twill is popular because it is very durable and hides stains well. Some characteristics of twill fabric include:
-
Diagonal lines: Twill is characterized by its diagonal lines, which are created by an offset in the warp threads.
-
Durability: Twill fabric is known for being durable and resilient.
-
Texture: The texture of twill fabric makes it ideal for curtains, upholstery, and bedding.
-
Uses: Twill fabric is used in a wide variety of garments and textile products, such as jeans, chinos, furniture coverings, backpacks, curtains, and upholstery.
Twill fabric can be woven in a variety of materials, such as cotton, wool, silk, and more. It is suitable for pants and jeans throughout the year, and for durable jackets in the fall and winter. Twill is known for being durable and easy to maintain.
