Keep your weaving in a digital library, explore new weave structures and share your ideas with others. You can: • get started with preset weave structures or import a weaving draft from a WIF file • draw and edit weaving drafts with warp and weft colors • use Fabric analysis to derive threading, tie-up and treadling from a weave pattern and create a project from the analysis • get help with pre-sleying calculations and converting reeds between inches and centimeters • save up to five project photos, choose a project photo and document your samples • share your projects in the open archive and find inspiration in other people’s weaving • invite others to your projects with a link or QR code and work together on the same project • send a project as a VÄVA file so the recipient gets their own copy, or save the file as a backup • export weaving drafts as WIF files for other weaving programs • create PDF and Word files to share or print, choosing which parts of the project to include. Colors are included, and large weaving drafts can be shortened with repeat brackets to make them easier to read.

FabRate is an application which helps to the user to calculate the Fabric Rate Yarn quantity of Warp and Weft required for certain quantity of Gray fabric, Loom production per day, For Calculation of the Fabric Rate you just have to provide the following information For Example you have to estimate the below 76x68/30sx30s - 70” End/Inch 76 Pick/Inch 68 Width 70" Warp Count 30s Weft Count 30s Yarn Rate for Warp/LBS 110 Yarn Rate for Weft/LBS 110 Warp Contraction in %age Weft Contraction in %age Loom Rate/pick 0.25 Quantity of Fabric 10,000 Mtrs Warp Yarn Weight (Auto Calculated) Weft Yarn Weight (Auto Calculated) Total Yarn Weight (Auto Calculated) Rejection %age Freight/Mtr Admin Expense/Mtr Other Expense/Mtr Finish or Dyeing/Mtr Commission %age Tax %age Also you can calculate per day production with below info Loom RPM Loom Efficiency %age Production/Day (Auto Calculated) You just after entering required information Click on the Calculate button and the Fabric rate calculated automatically is shown in the Top Bar of App and Warp Weight and Weft weight is calculated in the specified fields you see. You have option to save it with the name of party/Customer you quote. Note: - Contraction is consumption of yarn in fabric due to waviness during interlacing exceeding the woven length. Also add in contraction %age of wastage of yarn during process of sizing for Warp and wastage of Weft for other reasons, normally the Contraction for Warp is more than the weft. However net practical of the weaving is the 8% to 16% for Warp and 4% to 8% for Weft. --------------------------------------------------------- We're always excited to hear from you!
