Herringbone wool Herringbone is a broken twill weave created by alternating the diagonal pattern within the cloth. This reverse twill, at regular intervals, produces a zigzag effect. It has a spongy feel with hand loomed tweedy appearance. Herringbone is sometimes also called as 'Chevron' or 'Fishbone' or 'Arrowhead'.

Herringbone is made of cotton or wool. The lengthwise and crosswise yarns of herringbone are of different colors, one for warp and the other for weft. The yarns are usually irregular, twisted and uneven. The twill changes its direction at the point where the weave breaks but balancing the overall pattern of the fabric. A true herringbone pattern has the same number of the yarns in each direction. The best herringbone is an ideal rough and ready type of cloth.

The name has been derived from the skeleton of Herring because the fiber pattern of herringbone resembles it.
