Twill

SKU: BM2

A bookmark handwoven on a small Mirrix tapestry loom from natural colour undyed wool, sourced in France. 

 

Twill is one of the most fundamental types of weaving pattern, identifiable by having diagonal parallel ribs. The word is from early 14th century Scottish and was a variant of Middle English twile (Old English twili, Latin bilix) meaning"woven with double thread", although modern twills can be made on any number of threads. The earliest use of the pattern dates back to southwest Siberia and Central Asia, ca. 1800–1000 BCE on pottery, with the first woven twill being found as part of a horse riding garment dating from 1200–1000 BCE in Yanghai, located in the Turfan oasis in Northwest China.
