Twill
Twill is a type of
textile weave with a pattern of diagonal parallel ribs (in contrast with a
satin and
plain weave). This is done by passing the
weft thread over one or more
warp threads and then under two or more warp threads and so on, with a "step" or offset between rows to create the characteristic diagonal pattern. Because of this structure, twill generally drapes well.
