Everybody wanted denim for their casual wear, for parties, for office and more. In this article were gonna teach you what is it made of?

Denim is a type of woven twill fabric made from cotton. Modern denim yarn might include elastic components of up to 3%, such as spandex, to allow the final woven product to stretch. Even a small amount of it could increase the stretching capacity up to 15%.

Denim consists of two yarns that are woven together. The yarn that runs across—known as the weft—is threaded over and under the yarn that runs downwards is called the warp. The method of making denim fabric is known as the wrap and weft method.

Dyeing

There are two types of denim dyeing:

  • Sulphur dyeing : Sulphur dying is also known as color dying and used for creating specific colored denim such as black, white, pink, mustard and others.
  • Indigo dyeing : Indigo dyeing is a traditional way of dyeing, mostly to shades of blue. The warp yarns are dyed before they’re woven into denim, while the weft yarns are left undyed. That is why denim is blue on the front and white on the back.

Types of twill used for denim

There are different types of twill. For denim, the most common type of twill is 3×1 right hand twill. 3X1 means for every 3 warp yarns there is one weft yarn. It also explains why denim has diagonal lines in the fabric, known as twill lines.

Another type of twill weave you sometimes find in denim are 2×1 twill, where you have two warp yarns for every weft yarn. More commonly, though, is 3×1 left hand twill where the twill lines run from left to right.
