Weaving Studio vs YarnChooser

With VÄVA, you create digital weaving projects with project notes, weaving drafts, photos and reflections. 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.
