Weaving Draft Designer

Weaving Draft Designer is a weaving draft studio for shaft and treadle looms, table looms and dobby looms.

Set up threading, tie-up and treadling on clear tap-to-fill grids and watch the cloth appear as you go, as a woven preview or a crisp grid. Every change shows in the cloth straight away, so you can try a new tie-up, treadling order or colour stripe before you warp the loom.

• Threading, tie-up and treadling grids that fit your phone

• Full draft view laid out the classic way: threading over the cloth, tie-up in the corner, treadling down the side. Pinch to zoom and tap to edit

• Change the number of ends and picks at any time. New threads carry on your repeat

• Undo and redo for every change

• Fill tools: straight and point draws, repeat or mirror a section, tromp as writ, twill and direct tie-ups

• Longest warp and weft float shown for every draft

• Classic drafts to start from: plain weave, 2/2 and 3/1 twill, basket weave, chevron, bird's eye, houndstooth, log cabin and an 8 shaft diamond

• Full-page A4 PDF with threading, tie-up, treadling and cloth. Long or wide drafts carry on over numbered pages and stay readable

• Open and share WIF files, the format most weaving programs use

• Works offline, and your drafts stay on your phone

Free: up to 4 shafts, 6 treadles and 64 ends and picks, one colour each for warp and weft, and a watermarked PDF.

Weaving Draft Designer Pro (one-time unlock): up to 16 shafts and 16 treadles, up to 600 ends and picks, colour stripes for plaids and colour-and-weave, dye colours and custom colours, lift plans for table and dobby looms, WIF import and export, clean PDFs, all classic drafts and your own saved classics.

Drafts use the rising shed convention. Threading reads left to right and picks read top to bottom.
