Yup! Hemp rules!
Johnny, actually the weave does matter a bit - mostly when it comes to coarser fabrics.
Denim has the right one. One warp has to cross two or more wefts.
Otherwise you'd get all ripples and they would not be too great for the edge.

Interesting...now I have to go on Wikipedia to look up what "warp" and "weft" are. BTW, my local theater supply only had jutte webbing. Very coarse. I was afraid to try it.

Does this mean you can't use a canvas tarp? Because those are typically cotton duck which is a simple-weave, not a twill. Why is the twill weave so critical anyway?
