## What is iWeaveIt?

iWeaveiIt  is drawdown app for designing hand weaving patterns. It was developed by the same people who did WeaveIt for the PC Windows environment.  The single purchase of iWeaveIt will download to both your iPhone and your iPad. 

The iWeaveIt app supports Apple’s human interface guidelines with many of Apple's features.  It uses gestures and touches for draft manipulation.  This makes the program easy to use on the iPhone, iPod and iPad. The many animations give the program pizazz.  The result is a fun and enticing program to create and view weaving drafts. 

√ Zoom with gestures, double click and two finger click similar to Apple’s Map program.

√ Create and edit threading, treadling, and tieup for your drafts with multiple edit functions ( cut, copy, paste, flip, wrap, and change colors).

√ Supports lift plans.

√ Multiple levels of undo are available for editing.

√ Create custom color palettes.

√ Reads and writes WIF files. 
 
√ Export your pattern drafts as WIF files via email, iCloud or save to local storage and transfer with iTunes.

√ Import WIF files into iWeaveIt from email or internet (www.handweaving.net) with  only one click.  WIF files are recognized for iWeaveIt and load immediately.

√ Sync files using iCloud between all your devices (iPhone, iPod, iPad and Macintosh, Windows PC).

√ Print the draft to your air printer.  You do not have to email or transfer your file to another computer.

√ View one repeat of the design or multiple repeats to get a feel for how the whole cloth will look.
 
Editing allows up to 8 shafts on iPhone and 24 shafts on iPad.  

The following modules are now included with the app at original purchase
√  Yarn and Project Management

### 4/5 — handy app,  but…

*2025-04-14*

Big drawback if running on a Mac…the Print button is at the bottom of the box, off screen, so printing was not possible.  Had to reboot the machine at command line to get out of this.

**Developer response:** this is controlled by Apple and the resolution of the screen.  iWeaveIt has no control over the size of the print dialog.  Either change text size, resolution or set the icons to not take up screen space.

### 3/5 — Add ons don’t add on!

*2025-03-08*

I really like the app but the two add ons I purchased won’t show up in the program. Very frustrating.

**Developer response:** If this is still an issue, please contact support at  weaveit.canyonart@gmail.com
Usually the issue is the internet connection to Apple when you purchase.

### 1/5 — No help available

*2024-07-07, version 5.4.2*

The website that hosts the guide/manual is not loading. This is very unfortunate as I am new to the app and weaving and need support with getting the most out of the app. Very disappointing for what I paid for this app.

### 3/5 — Pretty good except for colors

*2024-06-26*

Pretty good app, not entirely intuitive. Looks like most weaving apps are expensive, but for this price having better color options would be nice. I would love to be able to re-arrange the colors on the pallet, and have the ability to put in RGB colors or hex codes, so I could better color match the yarn I have and create shades and tints of a specific color. I would also love a way to save multiple different palettes, besides making a bunch of patterns. I would also appreciate a way to replace colors (en mass) without having to get rid of the previous color- like the paint bucket tool. I would also love a rigid heddle setup option :) But the twill it option is great.

**Developer response:** You can create color palette with the color editor and then use all the colors in a draft. When you want to use that palette, first load the palette draft you created.  The difficulty with add RGB or hex code is that different systems use different ways of representing color.  RGB is not standard, sometimes is decimal percent based, sometimes 1 - 1000 and sometimes 1-255 so value isn't consistently standard.  Which to use??

### 5/5 — IweaveIt

*2024-02-10*

Love it! I wished I found it sooner. Enormous helpful! I have a floor loom, but I think it makes working with a table loom a lot easier as well. With the tracking. It tells nicely which shafts should be lifted. Maybe I will get a little one now 😅

### 5/5 — Just what I need

*2024-01-11*

I’ve been using iWeaveIt for years now and it’s always done pretty much everything I need it to. The in-app purchases are worth it. I use it on my iPad which is perfect to put on my castle while I weave. My only issue is that it seems to lag sometimes, but for all I know, that may be my device.

### 5/5 — Beginner weaver and I love this app

*2023-09-28*

I have found using this for weaving has been so helpful!  I love seeing how colors interact and getting a visual for what I’m creating.  I also love the tracking of threading and treadling, it keeps me on track and accurate.  

The one thing I have noticed that could be improved is the tracking for the treadling:  I often have 2 or more projects going at the same time and when I go to track the treadling for the one saved file, it notices that I am tracking on another file, and if I click “yes” to start on the file I’m currently on, it then erases where I am at on the previous file I was tracking.  It would be VERY helpful if it would save where I am at in the treadling and threading for each individual file that I am using concurrently.

### 5/5 — Great design tool

*2023-05-21*

As a new weaver, this app has helped me understand how weave structures work. I’ve learned so much by playing with the tools that helped me experiment in a way I wouldn’t have done without it. Great product!

### 5/5 — ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

*2023-03-09*

I’ve been weaving for about a year now, and being able to visualize how changing a draft affects the final look of a project in real time has helped me read drafts much more fluently!
