We are often asked by our many customers to define twill. In the twill material weave, each horizontal weft (or filling yarn) floats across the vertical warp yarns in a progression of interlacings to the right or left. This forms a  pattern of distinct diagonal lines, and which twill is often noted for. This diagonal pattern is also known as a wale. A float is the portion of a yarn that crosses over two or more perpendicular yarns. In our poly cotton twill, two polyester threads are raised up and over the one cotton thread, forming a 2/1 weave.

When we seek to define twill, it goes without saying that you must first define the unique weave and pattern, and which makes it such a unique and durable fabric material.
