Twill Weave

This weave pattern looks like a series of arrows travelling in diagonal lines. Twill weaves are named according to the number of other strands a single strand will pass over before passing under the same number of strands. As such, a plain weave could technically be considered a 1x1 Twill Weave.

2x2 Twill

4x4 Twill

Pros

• Compared to plain weave, the decreased stability means the weave is more flexible and can more easily conform to a desired shape.
• Decreased frequency of weaves means crimp angles occur less frequently, which can improve the life cycle of the part.

Cons

• Twill weave is an intermediate between plain weave and satin weave. As such it has decent stability. It will come apart a little more easily than plain weave will, but not as easily as satin weave.
