Compound weave is characterised by diagonal line in the fabric which is created by the floats of the ends or picks. The simplest twill weave is two up one down (or one up two down) which repeats on three ends and three picks. In warp faced twill, the floats of ends predominate over that of picks. In contrast, the floats of picks predominate over that of ends in weft faced twill. In case of balanced twill, the floats of ends and picks are equal.

This is simple weaving pattern where the warp and weft yarns cross up and down alternatively. It is the simplest possible and most commonly used weave. It gives maximum number of interlacements in the fabric and therefore the fabric becomes very firm. As the yarns are having maximum possible interlacements, the crimp in the yarns is also higher as compared to other weaves.
