    Diamond Twill

    Has anyone seen or made a kilt in diamond Twill? I found a source for some that seems like a fair price and have been thinking about that as a possible option for my next project. Not too sure about the behaviour of the weave though, having never seen diamond Twill in person.

    It's not as strong as a 2/2 twill which is why tartan (and denim) are traditionallly woven in a 2/2 twill.

    Diamond/Goose-eye/Birds-eye is fine for decorative pieces. Bird's Eye Weave - Duchess of Fife.jpg

    Thank you for the reply.
    I figured it might be a situation like that. I may still order a sample and see if it would work for a waistcoat, or possibly for one of the other non kilt related projects I have planned.

    I've never even heard of diamond twill before. Interesting.
