TWILLED Meaning and
Definition
-
Twilled is an adjective used to describe a type of woven fabric characterized by a distinctive diagonal rib or pattern formed by the weft yarns that pass over one or more warp yarns before going under two or more warp yarns. This weaving technique creates a strong and durable fabric with a resilience and flexibility that is highly desirable in various applications. The diagonal ribbing, also known as twill lines, is a defining feature of twilled fabric and can be seen clearly on both sides of the material.
Traditionally, twilled fabrics were made using wool or silk, but nowadays it can be made with various fibers, including cotton, linen, or synthetic materials. Due to their durability and resistance to wrinkling, twilled fabrics are often used in clothing production, particularly for garments that need to retain their shape, such as trousers, jackets, and suits. Additionally, twilled fabrics are also employed in home decor, upholstery, and industrial applications where strength and longevity are essential.
The term "twilled" can also be used broadly to describe any object, surface, or material incorporating a similar diagonally ribbed structure. It encompasses items like twilled patterns in leather, twilled paper, or even twilled prints created in art. The word "twilled" is derived from the Old English word "twyle," meaning "having two-fold."
