Weaving draft editor for iPhone and iPad
WeavingGem is now a weaving pattern app with a built-in draft editor. Create a weaving draft from scratch, tweak threading, tie-up, and treadling to match the yarn in your stash, and see the textile design update as you work. When you are ready for the loom, keep your place through warping, threading, and weaving in the same app.
That means fewer trips back to the computer for small changes, and one clear path from draft to cloth on iPhone or iPad. You can still open a WIF from Fiberworks, Bower, or a pattern library when that is how you design.
Create a weaving draft in minutes
Start a draft right from your loom bench or sofa. From home, tap Create. Pick your target dimensions, sett, loom size, and a starter structure like twill, plain weave, or a blank canvas. Tap Create, and WeavingGem sets up a starter draft ready for you to paint and edit. Already have a pattern in your library? Open it and choose Edit pattern.
Edit threading, tie-up, and treadling in one place
Paint threading, tie-up, and weft picks directly on the draft, and watch the drawdown update as you work. On iPad, you can use an Apple Pencil just like working on paper, but with instant cloth feedback. Swap in your stash yarn colours, copy and repeat motifs, and save when you are ready. Because the editor is built in, your changes flow straight into winding the warp, threading the heddles, and throwing the shuttle.
Check warp length before you measure yarn
Estimate how much warp yarn you need before you pull cones from the shelf. Open Project Calculator from Details and Colors when you are ready to weave. Enter quantity, sample, loom waste, take-up, and finishing terms. Draft size and sett stay as they are on the draft.
Try it free: use the samples, create two drafts of your own (or Duplicate), and import two WIF files. WeavingGem Pro removes those Create and import limits so you can keep designing and tracking every project. Download on the App Store, or compare free and Pro in Support.
