How does WeavingGem track threading?
Open a pattern, choose Thread, and follow the ends while you dress the loom. Each coloured bead shows which yarn to thread and which shaft that end belongs on. LEFT and RIGHT labels match the sides of your physical loom.
Ends appear in a threading group (how many ends you work before the next group). When you have threaded every end in the group, move on by tapping the screen, using the forward control, swiping forward, or saying “next” if Voice Control is on.
If you make a mistake, reverse with the back control, a reverse swipe, or “back” on Voice Control. At the very start of a sequence, Back waits until you have advanced once. See Why does Back wait until I start threading?.
In Settings (cog), Threading Focus sets the group size and whether you walk Right to Left or Left to Right. The default walk is right to left.
When you reach the end of the threading sequence, tap to restart if your draft is a repeating pattern and you want to keep going. Your place saves if you leave the app.
Tip
Need to check the full draft while you thread? Use the eye icon to open View draft (Details and Colors), then return to your place.
