ZIG ZAG OR WAVY TWILLS

ZIG ZAG OR WAVY TWILLS:

Pointed Twill

These are also known as pointed twills. In these classes of twill weaves the twill progresses in one direction for half of the repeat and then is reversed for the next half of the repeat. The reversal of the twill may be done in a regular or irregular manner. Ideally the reversal of the twill should be done considering the series of threads that predominate the face of the fabric. Thus warp way reversal is done in cases where the warp predominates over the weft and weft way reversal is done in cases where the weft predominates over the warp.

Figure 4.6 shows a design of the pointed twills.
