Twill Weave
Woven wire cloth in which each weft wire passes successively over two and under two warp wires and each warp wire passes successively over and under two weft wires.
 
Twill Dutch Weave
Each warp wire and each weft wire passes over and under the next to adjacent complementary wires, as in a normal "twill weave", except the warp wires are larger in diameter than the weft wires. This allows a greater mesh count in the weft direction.    This weave pattern enables the weft wires to be woven more densely, and much smaller aperture sizes can be achieved.
