Weave Designer is an app that allows you to easily create and edit weaving drafts used in hand weaving directly on your smartphone. By setting the shafts, treadles, and tie-up, you can simulate complex weaving patterns (drawdowns) in real time. Because you can visually review and fine-tune your drafts as you work, it becomes much easier to imagine the finished fabric before doing a test weave. The app lets you design while understanding the structure of the weave, making it useful for everyone from beginners to experienced weavers. In addition, its smartphone-friendly interface allows you to quickly turn ideas into designs anytime—whether you’re on the go or taking a short break during your work. [Key Features] - Create Weave Drafts: Intuitively edit threading, tie-ups, and treadling with simple tap operations. - Real-time Preview: Instantly see how changes affect the weave pattern. - Thread Color Settings: Customize individual colors for both warp and weft threads. - Flexible Customization: Freely configure the number of heddles, weaving width, and treadles to match various looms. - PDF Export: Save, share, and print your weave drafts as PDF files. [Basic Usage] 1. Set the number of heddles and weaving width when creating a new design. 2. Tap the grids to input threading and tie-ups. 3. Use the "+" button at the bottom right to add weft rows and select the treadle to use. 4. Use the magnifying glass buttons to zoom in/out and check the overall pattern.
