How is cotton woven into a fabric?

Well here's the beginning: the cotton is harvested and then goes through a process of cleaning, blending, and carding (and other steps) to remove debris and to orient fibers. Then the cotton is made into slivers based on a grade. Slivers are then spun using different spinning methods such as open end spinning or ring spinning and they are spun onto bobbins. From there the yarn is then woven or knitted into a fabric. There are different types of wovens such as plain weave, twill weave, rib weave, satin etc.

Difference between woven cotton and twill?

Woven cotton is exactly as it sounds. It is cotton that is woven and as such, has a flat 'finish' to it. Twill is made in such away that there are ridges, similar to corduroy, only usually much smaller. Also, the ridges run diagonal to the selvage, instead of parallel as it is in corduroy. If you were to compare quilting weight cotton, which is woven, with a twill cotton suitable for apparel, the twill usually will seem a bit sturdier. When I make purses from cotton fabric, I use quilting weight for the majority of the bag, but twill for the handles and the bottom of the bag, because I feel it has better strength.

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.

What is stretch twill fabric?

Twill is fabric that has a diagonal pattern. It is actually woven in such a way as to create diagonal "ribs" in the fabric itself (not just colored diagonal lines). Think of cordoroy - that is a fabric with a vertical (up and down) pattern woven into it. Twill is diagonal weaving. If a twill fabric has extra "give" so that it can expand (stretch), it is a stretch twill. Stretch twill often refers to the fabric having a small percentage of lycra/spandex in it, usually 2-4%.


What weaves does denim use?
