Readable weaving formulas
Use compact formulas like 12a2b12a to describe the number of threads and the color key used for each section.
Weaving design
Weaving pattern generator with warp and weft formulas
Plan woven repeats by writing the structure directly: warp counts, weft counts, thread colors, and fabric density. TextileWeave keeps the logic readable while the canvas shows the visual result.

Separate warp and weft control
Designers can keep the warp stable while testing weft changes, or mirror both directions for balanced checks.
Useful before sampling
The preview helps evaluate proportion, color spacing, and repeat rhythm before committing time to physical setup.
Workflow
From idea to exportable pattern.
01
Write the warp
Start with the vertical thread sequence and assign each block a color key.
02
Write the weft
Add the horizontal sequence and decide whether it mirrors the warp or introduces a second rhythm.
03
Tune density
Adjust threads per centimeter and thread size until the visual preview matches the intended scale.
FAQ
Common questions
Can this replace weaving draft software? +
TextileWeave is a fast visual formula tool, not a full loom drafting application. It is best for color, repeat, stripe, check, and plaid exploration.
What are warp and weft formulas? +
They are short strings that describe how many threads of each color appear in the vertical warp and horizontal weft directions.
Can I start from examples? +
Yes. The preset library includes classic structures that open directly in the studio.
