LoomDraw Weave Plan

LoomDraw Draft Studio is an offline-first handweaving draft bench for floor-loom weavers, textile-arts students, guild newcomers, and rigid-heddle weavers ready to level up. It is built for structure work—not a project scrapbook and not a yarn shopping list—so you can trust threading, tie-up, treadling, sett, and float length before you wind a warp.

Open a richly seeded starter draft and work in a live shaft-and-treadle bench. Edit the threading sequence, tie-up matrix, and treadling order, then watch a color fabric drawdown redraw instantly. Set shaft and treadle counts from 2 to 8 with validation when sequences exceed your loom limits. Assign warp and weft colorways with palette swatches applied to ends and picks in the drawdown. Read repeat width in ends, picks per pattern unit, and float-length warnings scaled to your yarn so overly long floats are flagged before they become a problem on the loom.

Seeded structure library includes plain weave, balanced and point twills, crowfoot satin, and overshot sampler drafts you can duplicate and reshape. A sett helper turns wrap counts into suggested EPI/PPI ranges and ends-per-repeat math. Short literacy cards cover sett, EPI vs PPI, twill direction, tabby vs pattern weft, and how to read a tie-up—handy for class, guild night, or self-study.

Save multiple drafts in an on-device workspace with duplicate, rename, and archive. Export a plain-text draft sheet and share it through the system share sheet for handouts or peer review. Everything runs offline with a local database; no account required for core drafting.

Whether you are checking a 2/2 twill scarf, planning an overshot border, or learning to read shaft diagrams with confidence, LoomDraw turns abstract draft notation into a readable fabric preview so you can weave with fewer surprises.

Recent changes:
First release of the live shaft-and-treadle draft bench with instant color drawdown. Seeded starters cover plain weave, twills, satin, point twill, and overshot. Configure 2–8 shafts, edit warp/weft colorways, flag long floats, use the sett helper from wrap counts, save drafts offline, and share plain-text draft sheets.
