Thank you so much for this well presented and easy to understand video. Are all twill weave fabrics one direction because of the diagonal pattern?
@RepairWhatYouWear

The diagonal pattern is set up on the loom through the threading on the heddles. It can also be set up to create a herringbone pattern, diagonals going in opposite directions for a block then back again. Herringbone is a type of twill weave. Hope this is helpful.

It's really very useful. Can you also help in understanding warp rib, weft rib and Matt rib please?

To understand the basic knit concept, look at the knitting video on our website under education (or KZitem). These are all weft knits. Warp is specialist so best to search seperately, it's not used for clothing very much, which is our area.

Hey, I thought selvedge didn't leave a raw edge, when you're talking about selvedge in your video the piece of cloth looks like it has a raw edge? Could you elaborate on this a little for me please?
@RepairWhatYouWear

The selvedge can be raw for two reasons: The cloth is woven on wide looms that weaves many warps at once and a knife travels up between the selvedges of each length being woven. When a check or pattern is being woven, the threads need to change and there is very often another small warp to secure the threads before they are again cut, so the shuttles can be swapped. Solid colour weaves mostly commonly have a woven edge as the weft is continuous. Hope this is helpful.

Looking to weave a custom wool design for a camping/winter jacket. I plan on felting the fabric like with what you showed at 2:53. Would a plain or twill be more appropriate for general duribilty and protecting the material against abrasions? (branches scratching, and average roughness)
@RepairWhatYouWear

Strength of the fabric would come from the twist on the yarn and how structurally sound the cloth is, hardly any vertical/horizontal movement on the warp/weft and not much movement on the diagonal (bias). Either plain weave or twill would work if judged in this way but I feel that plain weave is probably more reliable and when you felt it, it will shrink equally on both axis. Traditionally, checked cloth is twill because you get sharper colour definition on the weave, so that might influence your decision. In this instance, the warp must be tightly packed to keep the cloth structure firm . I would advise against brushing the cloth for additional felting as it can weaken the yarn. Hope this is helpful and apologies for the long reply!

Hi , Thank you for the instruction video . I would like to know what kind of wool yarn is used to make the thick fabric for the twill pattern and what kind of yarns for the different sizes of fabric weights you showed in this video 11/26/22.... Also can you weave this yarn on a loom and if so what kind of loom can I use for the thick to thin yarns?

Hi. The fabrics I have used are industrial and sadly I am unable to give you the details of the yarns or specifications that would be suitable for hand looms.
