Which of the following is NOT a type of fabric weave?

The correct choice identifies "Twist weave" as not being a recognized type of fabric weave. The other weaves mentioned—plain weave, twill weave, and basket weave—are established techniques in textile manufacturing.

Plain weave is the most basic fabric construction method, characterized by an over-and-under pattern that produces a flat, tight fabric. Twill weave involves a diagonal pattern created by the way warp and weft threads cross each other, which results in a fabric that has a distinctive texture and often drapes better than plain weaves. Basket weave is a variation of plain weave where two or more threads from each set are woven together, creating a checkerboard appearance.

Twist weave, however, does not correspond to any traditional fabric construction paradigms and is more likely to refer to a type of yarn manipulation or a non-standard terminology that may mislead one to believe it is a legitimate weaving technique. Understanding these distinctions helps in recognizing the different weaving methods that play critical roles in the characteristics and applications of fabrics in the apparel and accessories industry.
