HERRING BONE TWILLS

HERRING BONE TWILLS:

In the case of Herring Bone twills, the twill is reversed as in the case of pointed twills. However, the pointed effect is broken. This type of construction produces a distinct stripe effect and also prevents the formation of an extended float where the weave turns. In this aspect the herringbone twills are considered to be more advantageous than the pointed twills.

A typical example of herringbone twill is shown in Fig.

REARRANGED TWILLS:

These twills are obtained by arrangement of a continuous twill either warp way or weft way. The rearrangement is normally done in a particular order or sequence.

Rearranged twills are of two types :

1. Satin/sateen weaves
2. Corkscrew weaves
