Twill
tapes use a higher, finer thread count, making them sturdier but more
delicate to be used in tailored garments. The different twill designs woven
into each style create a crisp, unique appearance. Twill tapes are made of
various materials, but the most common are cotton and wool. Wool twill tapes
have molecular structure that makes it stain resistant and elastic. It
stretches to mold around the curves of a tricorn hat or keep stockings
gathered, yet has a tensile strength greater than cotton.
Features & Benefits
Twill tapes are decorative and long lasting, whether they are used to make
strips on a lady's skirt, or to replicate the binding on a wallet. Color
options are bright and clear, but may be easily dyed to "muddy"
them up.
