Twill weave is also one of the fundamental weave styles, along with plain weave and satin. This type of weave, unlike plain weave, has two distinct sides, with the front side having a darker colour and a light-coloured back.
It is durable and wears less while having good wrinkle resistance. Denim, chinos, and upholstery are some of the end-uses of twill weave.

This makes almost all the fabrics, from jeans to sundresses, woven fabric. Compared to knitted fabrics, woven fabrics do not stretch that easily, giving them a longer lifespan.

They are wrinkle-free, lightweight, and comfortable to wear, making them popular as travel clothing. Knitted fabric is used to make numerous types of clothes, including t-shirts, sportswear, swimwear, and sweaters, among others.
The apparel segment is the leading user of wool in the market, and it has been used for years. Environmental awareness is spreading among people and wool’s eco-friendly properties are a major factor helping the expansion of the clothing market.
But its flexibility and durability, combined with its fire-resistant properties, makes wool suitable for many purposes.
