Cardboard Box Loom - Weaving TWill | |||
| Another type of common pattern in weaving is Twill. The weft threads go over 2 and under 2 warp threads. On the following row, the next 2 threads are picked up and the following 2 warp threads are lowered. This results in a diagonal design running either to the right or left depending on the direction that you are weaving.

If you number the warp threads: 1,2,3,4 (repeat) | |||
Row 1 | |||
| Pick up threads 1 and 2, skip over threads 3 and 4, pick up 1 and 2, skip 3, 4 (repeat). Pass the weft yarn through the open shed.
| |||
Row 2 | |||
| On the 2nd row, move over 1 warp thread from the previous row, and pick up the next 2 threads and lower the following 2. | |||
| Skip warp thread 1 Pick up warp threads 2 and 3 Skip threads 4 and 1 Pick up threads 2 and 3 Skip threads 4 and 1
| |||
| Repeat to the end, and pass the weft thread through the open shed.
| |||
Row 3 | |||
| Skip warp threads 1 and 2 Pick up threads 3 and 4 Repeat to the end of the row and pass the weft thread through the open shed.
| |||
Row 4 | |||

Pick up warp thread 1 Skip threads 2 and 3 Pick up threads 4 and 1 Skip threads 2 and 3 Pick up threads 4 and 1 Repeat this sequence to the end of the row and pass the weft thread through the open shed.

Twill Variations | |||
| Twill is a very versatile weave structure, and you will find many variations in twill design. By changing the direction of the pickup, the diagonals will change to the right or to the left. Twills are also woven by varying the number of warp threads that are picked up or lowered.
