All Different Types of Twill

- The world of twill is a big, enormous world! But with a few different categories to work with, you can start narrowing it down. This video will discuss the difference between a 2/2 (balanced twill), a 1/3 (weft-faced twill), and a 3/1 (warp-faced twill).
Sounds complicated, I know! I've got just the thing to help you sort it out. Check out today's episode (#51) of A Handwoven Experience for some guidance.

perfect!
Thanks this was very helpful!
Oh yay! I'm so glad!!
I love going back to your older videos... I have never done anything but 2/2. And never understood the difference between the different names. Thanks. I might have to try it sometime.
Connie, I'm so glad the video clarified that for you! Wonderful!!
Perfectly clear explanation!
I'm so glad it was helpful!
I love your clear explanations/demonstrations as well as your terrific video presence (French pronunciation)! Perhaps one of these days you could post a video on how to warp fine yarns on a 6 yd warping board without the yarns slipping off the pegs toward the end as well tightening so much so as to crack the pegs.
Thank you! I've never cracked a peg! Sounds like a lighter touch might help!
You are such a good teacher !
Thank you for the kind words!!
@@ActonCreative it’s just true: you are Clear, to the point, friendly , with humor inviting and passionate. My kinda teacher! 👍😁🌈
@@qiqi2692 I'm so glad to hear that!! Thank you!!
Good explanation.
Thanks so much, Jennifer!
Could you please further this video by telling us which style is used in which fabric? I'm aware upholstery and Denim fabrics use twill, but not exactly know the specifics.
Hi Tshepo! Thanks for the suggestion! I'll give that some thought!
hi! i loved this video. i have a fabric that looks like a plain weave on one side, and a twill on the other. i've been wondering what type of fabric this is and why it is like that? thank you!
Hi! I'm so, so glad!! Thanks for stopping by to check things out!
Can a 3:1 twill be accomplished on a counterbalance loom?
Hi! Great question! I've never worked on a counterbalance loom before! Let me find out for you!
From what I can tell, a counterbalance loom will work very well with a 2:2 twill, not as great with a 3:1. I'm guessing it's because of the way the shafts are connected to each other.
@@ActonCreative the shafts are only connected to each other if there is more than one on a treadle. I have each of my four CB shafts tied up to only one treadle each, allowing individual treadling.
@@Hathorspirit Thank you so much! So, you can do a direct tue-up, correct? That helps! Thank you!
I’m not sure how to achieve the different types on my 8 shaft table loom….
Hi Camilo! Creating different types of twill comes down to how you thread your heddles and the order you use to lift your shafts. If you have something specific in mind you want to achieve, let me know! Hopefully I can provide you with better details!
@@ActonCreative Thank you for the offer! What I have in mind -with my limitations, is a balanced twill with a very simple design -or no design at all, and just follow the diagonal lines natural to twill. I have a 8 shaft table loom, so tie up is different than in many other types of looms. Thanks again!
@@camilorojas1744 Fabulous! To start off simply, I might recommend only using the 1st 4 shafts. Thread your heddles using a straight draw (1-2-3-4-1-2-3-4, etc.).
Then to weave, start by raising only 1 shaft at a time in consecutive order (1-2-3-4-1-2-3-4, etc.). Once you get a feel for that, try 2 at a time (1&2, 2&3, 3&4, 4&1, repeat). And lastly, try 3 at a time!
This will give you a great working knowledge of how twill works! From there, you can create your own version! You can try different threadings for your heddles and vary the order when lifting your shafts.
Because you have an 8-shaft loom, you'll have a huge array of options to play with! Let me know how it goes!! Good luck!
@@camilorojas1744 And just an extra note for you that to achieve a balanced twill, you'll want to have the same number of shafts up that are down. So if you are working with 4 shafts, use 2 shafts up and 2 down. The pattern will then look the same on both the top & bottom of the fabric.
