Keper

A type of weave based on the alternation of groups of warp and weft threads in such a way that the warp threads form diagonal ribs or geometric patterns on the surface of the fabric. In domestic textiles of the 19th and 20th centuries, it was the third most commonly used weave after plain weave and rib weave. In traditional home weaving, the term “twill” was not commonly used. A four-shaft home-woven twill (1 warp thread over and 3 under) was referred to as drilich, drelich, or trilich; in Horehronie it was called činovať or činovatina.
