Which weave characterizes Cavalry Twill?

• A. Dobby weave
• B. Plain weave
• C. Basket weave
• D. Warp-faced twill weave

Answer: (D)

Cavalry Twill is defined by a warp-faced twill weave. In a twill, the interlacing creates diagonal lines because the weft yarns ride over and under multiple warp yarns in succession. When the warp yarns dominate the fabric face, the warp is more visible on the outside, giving the surface a smooth feel and extra durability. That warp-faced arrangement is what gives Cavalry Twill its distinct diagonal wale and sturdy hand. Dobby weave is for small geometric patterns, not a twill; plain weave has no diagonal; basket weave is a variation of plain weave that forms a checkerboard, not the diagonal twill look.
