Weft way twill weave: In weft way twill weave weft float run in the weft direction.Warp way twill weave: In warp way twill weave warp float run in the warp direction.Weft-way twill weave: 2/3 weft-way twill, etc.ī) According to the direction of twill lines on the face of the fabricĬ) According to the face yarn (warp or weft)ĭ) According to the nature of the produced twill line.Warp-way twill weave: 3/1 warp-way twill, etc.Twill weaves can be classified from four points of view – Twill lines are formed on both sides of cloths.Diagonal lines run at angle vary between (15-75) degree but in a continuous or regular twill is 45 degree.Appearance it will design can be seen from both sides the fabric.Generally straight draft is used for twill weave besides this pointed or v draft is also used.Three or more head shaft are required for shedding.It means take at least end and three picks produce twill weave. Twill line may be from lower lift to upper right (Z-twill) or from lower right to upper lift(S-twill) corner.A twill weave is characterized by diagonal lines of warp and weft floats on the face of the fabric.The main feature of twill weave are mention bellow – The simplest possible repeat for a twill weave is 3 ends * 3 picks and there is no theoretical upper limit to the size of the repeat. In the basic weaves of these diagonal lines are continuous but in some of their derivatives they may be broken or reversed periodically. The order of interlacing which causes diagonal lines of warp and weft floats to be formed in the fabric is called twill weave.
