Transposed Twills

Transposed twillIn the case of these twills the diagonal effect is broken by transposition of the original order of the threads. This type of construction produces attractive designs. A number of methods can be adopted in the transposition of the regular twills. One of the commonly used method is shown in figure

As shown in the figure, the transposed twill is constructed in three stages. In the figure A the repeat size of the design is shown. The design adopted here is a base twill of 3/3 transposed on a repeat of 2. The repeat size is 6 ¥ 6. In the figure B is shown the base marks that are made on repeat size of 2 ¥ 2, the squares of which are thickly lined. In the figure C is shown the design of the transposed twill where the 3/3 twill is transposed in the thickly lined squares.

Fancy entwining and Curved Twill
A broken twill weave composed of vertical sections which are alternately right hand and left hand in direction. In Broken Twills, twills are constructed by breaking the continuity of any continuous twill weave. They are formed by reversing the pattern part way through the repeat. The Break can be achieved in different ways.Fancy entwining twill effects are obtained by omitting one or more twill lines from each section and continuing the remaining twill lines of each section until they meet these of the other section. By this it means that two blank spaces are made in the weave, in which other weaves may be inserted. Curved twills are those in which the twill lines have a wavy, or curved, nature instead of being perfectly straight as in an ordinary twill weave. There are two methods of constructing these weaves,
