Diagonal lines on the face and back of the fabric are produced by twill weave. For that, the structure of twill weave has less comfort than plain weave. The prominence of the twill fabric is one of the important factors.
Characteristics of weave: Characteristics of weave have great influence on the prominence of the twill fabric. Twill lines having short float cause less prominence of twill line while having long float creates more prominence of twill line, weaker fabric, create looseness.
Characteristics of yarn: Prominence of twill weave has close relationship with type of yarns. Twill line having single yarn causes less prominence and having folded or ply yarn causes more prominence. Both same direction of twist and twill line and the finer and hard twisted yarn result to less prominence of twill weave. But opposite direction of twist and twill line and coarser and soft twisted yarn increase the prominence of twill weave.
Number of ends and picks per inch: Bothe EPI and PPI have great influence on the prominence of twill weave. The more EPI and PPI are the more prominence of twill weave is. Less EPI and PPI causes less prominence of woven structure.
