can it be merged with Serge ??

I would say not, because serge is a type of twill, not synonymous with it (according to http://www.apparelsearch.com ). --Heron 16:17, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Confusing?

I've marked this page "confusing" because it contains many technical terms without explaination (wale, float, sheer, harness) In particular, the key sentence which defines twill makes no sense to me (a laymen) at a: "In a twill weave, each warp or filling yarn floats across two or more filling or warp yarns with a progression of interlacings by one to the right or left". I think that anybody who can understand this will already know as much information ont he subject as this article provides. 217.155.174.190

This is a terrific description / definition. The first sentence describes a twill as well as possible without getting technical.

Agree on confusing. This first sentence is pretty good, but from there on it gets dense quickly. I can follow "In a twill weave, each warp or filling yarn floats across two or more filling or warp yarns with a progression of interlacings by one to the right or left" - I know something about textiles - but this really needs work to be understood by a non-weaver. - PKM 20:54, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Any parts that you'd still like cleaned up or expalined better? Loggie 20:26, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
