Weaving draft

Draw the threading, tie-up and treadling square by square and watch the weave appear – with the warp and weft colours in place.

  • Up to 16 shafts and 16 treadles
  • Large patterns shown one repeat at a time
  • Open and save WIF files from other weaving programs

Project notes

Weave structure, reed, warp and weft gathered in clear project notes. VÄVA works out the total warp length, the number of warp ends and how much yarn you need.

Photos of finished linen cloth in a VÄVA project.

Photos and samples

Keep photos of the cloth, the yarn and your samples in the project. Next time you weave the same thing, it is all still there – including the notes on what you changed.

Wooden shuttles with bobbins of linen yarn. Balls of linen yarn in different shades of grey. Cones of unbleached linen yarn.

Made by a weaver and an app developer – for everyone who weaves.
