How can you identify a twill woven fabric easily?
The easiest way to identify a twill weave is if the fabric appears to have a diagonal "texture"- this is caused by the offset of weft and warp threads when the fabric is woven (for example, over once, under twice. As opposed to over once, under once as a normal weave). The grain of the fabric is not actually diagonal, but the twill weave gives it that appearance.
