LEFT HAND TWILL (LHT) & RIGHT HAND TWILL (RHT)

TWILL WEAVE: RIGHT AND LEFT HAND TWILL LINE:

RHT & LHT TWILL

 Right hand twill (RHT):Is the most common and can be easily identified by the diagonal pattern that moves from the bottom left of the fabric to the top right. This style was made also  famous by Levi's and has become the industry standard amongst many denim producers.

Right hand twill, or “Z-twill”, has a flatter and smoother surface than the other types of twill. One differentiating characteristic is how much tighter and compact the RHT is due to being woven with S-twist yarn; which is spun counterclockwise, and creates more defined fades.

Left hand twill (LHT) or “S-twill”, is woven in the exact opposite direction as RHT, starting from the bottom right and moving up to the top left of the fabric.

Denim powerhouse, Lee, originally used LHT, which has an even softer feel than right hand twill because it is woven with Z-twist yarn, which is spun clockwise. If a left hand twill denim is worn heavily over a period of time, the end results typically carry fuzzy, vertical fading.
