A twill weave has a pattern that looks like diagonal lines.
A 3/1 twill means you weave under three warp yarns and over one.
You start each row one along from the previous row.
This creates the diagonal line pattern.
You can use one, two or more yarns together in your weft, like in any weave.
This is called a ‘warp faced ’weave. It means that you can mostly see the warp yarns on the front of the fabric. We call the front of the fabric the ‘face’.
