How does WeavingGem track warping?
Open a pattern, choose Warp, and WeavingGem guides you through the warp color order from your WIF draft. Large gemstone beads show which ends to wind next so you can keep your place while you prepare the warp.
Each bead is filled with the yarn color to wind and labeled with that warp end number. Ends appear in a group based on ends per tap in Settings → Warp Focus. When you have wound every end in the group, advance 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. Progress for warping is saved separately from threading and weaving, so you can leave and return to the same draft.
Warp Mode is for winding the warp color order. When you are ready to dress the loom, open the same pattern and choose Thread. When you are ready to weave picks, choose Weave.
On iPhone, an open Warp session can also sync to the Apple Watch companion so you can advance from your wrist. See How do I use the Apple Watch companion?.
Counting-thread and bout reminders
Optional counting-thread and bout reminders in Settings → Warp Focus mark milestones while you wind. The reminders mark where you are. How you tie, park, or wrap yarn stays your call.
For intervals, defaults, and what reminders do not decide, see How do counting-thread and bout reminders work?.
