Cloth with woven, sloping lines (5)

I believe the answer is:

twill

(Other definitions for twill that I've seen before include "Fabric woven to have diagonal ribs" , "Material" , "Stuff" , "Cloth with diagonal ribs" , "Fabric woven to produce a surface of diagonal parallel ridges" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
