Can I match yarn colors before I start weaving?

Yes. Yarn colours in a draft are often placeholders. Match them to the yarn on your bench before you start.

From a pattern card, open Details and Colors, then the Colors tab.

  1. Under Yarns in use, tap a yarn.
  2. Pick a colour that matches your physical yarn.
  3. The beads and drawdown update so what you see on screen matches the yarn on your bench.

Use Save or Save as… when you want those colours written back to a WIF file.
