Dans le modèle conservé par le collectionneur [...], une alternance de zigzags à champ blanc ornés de motifs géométriques verts ou rouges et de zigzags constitués de bandes ondulantes rouges, vertes et colorées, de largeurs identiques, se déploie sur toute la surface du tapis, encadrés par deux bandes verticales à champ blanc et ornées du même motif de zigzag réduit à une simple ligne. [L'artiste textile], dans ses variations autour de ce modèle, rend beaucoup plus évident l'effet de superposition : les zigzags verticaux passent à présent nettement devant les bandes ondulées horizontales, qui n'apparaissent plus comme des zigzags, mais comme un fond [...] 1, record 1, French, - effet%20de%20superposition

Twill: The term twill designates both a textile weave characterised by diagonal structural designs and the cloth made from that weave. The weave may be varied to produce broken or intertwining effects. Twill fabrics are usually firm and are used especially in suits and in sport and work clothes. Twill-weave fabrics are also used for linings, pockets, and mattress ticking. Serge, gabardine, and cheviot are major types of twill. 1, record 8, English, - twill
