Twill has an ancient, perhaps an Old English sound to it. Just what is twill? It is a woven fabric and the pattern is diagonal parallel ribs. In a technical sense twill has a front and back, whereas plain weave doesn’t. The front side or technical face is the side on which the wale is more pronounced. The design and texture of twill is interesting. The Bedford cord is an example, which is named for Bedford England. This is a heavy material; its ribbed weave goes lengthwise and it is like corduroy. Denim is a wholesale twill fabric and it is very popular.
These are examples of twill fabric: rayon, gabardine, polyester, silk, wool, and cotton. Wholesale twill fabric should be pre-treated because its shrinkage is 10%. Wholesale twill fabric can usually be washed and dried with a washer and dryer, but those that are mixed with silk and wool need careful cleaning.
