Upcoming Feature Roadmap

Features currently being prioritized (strike through items are finished)

  • Section Assembly - Add print support for section assembly threading, treadling.

  • Section Assembly - Many drafts have nested repeats, and it would be useful to be able to combine groups in section assembly and have them repeat. This will likely require adding an additional level of repeats.

  • Section Assembly - Also the ability to copy and paste groups with its contents.

  • Extended support for Overshot in Block Substitution

  • Support for weft faced and warp faced fabric visualization.

  • Support for Weft Faced visual design tools for Krokbragd and other Boundweaves.

  • Support for Warp Faced visual design tools for Rep Weave

  • Support for 2-shuttle weaves on fold double cloth.

  • Support for marking pickup patterns definition.

  • Project Planning - support for weaving length and width that are not included in the WIF, but are included in planned yardage, heddle counts, etc. Also, support for visualization in cloth view and cloth sim with the planned repeats.

  • Name Drafting (Code drafting)

  • Cut and Paste picture into a tie-up.

  • Cut and Paste picture into a lift plan.

  • Improved Print options (treadling, threading)

  • Support for yarn sizes and yards per pound to generate not only yardage requirements, but ounces or grams by color.

  • Support for full Yarn properties including: Color, Size (with unit), plies, elasticity (impact on takeup), drape (general/average), reflectivity, etc. See below for considerations:

Yarn & Fiber Properties

  1. Fiber Type: Wool, cotton, linen, silk, synthetic, blend, etc.

  2. Fiber Content %: For blends, the percentage of each fiber (e.g., 80% wool, 20% silk).

  3. Yarn Weight / Count: Lace, fingering, sport, DK, worsted, bulky, or a technical measurement like NM or Tex.

  4. Yarn Structure: Singles, plied (2-ply, 4-ply), cabled, etc.

  5. Twist Direction: S-twist or Z-twist (often relevant for specialized weaving).

  6. Color / Color Code: Name, code, or Pantone reference.

  7. Manufacturer / Brand: Mill or company name.

  8. Yarn Name: Specific product name.

  9. Yardage (or Meterage) per Unit: Important for calculating warp/ weft requirements (e.g., 200 yards/50 g).

  10. Recommended EPI (Ends per Inch): Helps with planning a balanced weave.

  11. Price / Cost: Per skein, cone, or per yard.

  12. Care Instructions: Washing, drying, ironing details.

  13. Manufacturer: Or if handmade or where you purchased or typically purchase the yarn.

  14. Notes: Subjective notes like softness, sheen, halo, or any special weaving considerations.

  15. others?

  • Support for variegated yarns with ability to create your own and save in MyYarn catalog. Variegation will show in Cloth.

  • Provide support for applying a gradient against a selected color pallet.

  • Ability to create denting plan that can be used for cram and dent, skipped dents and thick and then fabrics. The denting plan will also calculate an average ends per inch.

  • Thumbnail views of drafts while browsing

  • Ability to select marked sections from one WIF into another.

  • Ability to select from common weaves to populate threading, tie-up and treadling.

  • Visualization for integrated double weave in cloth view and cloth sim

  • Visualization for deflected threads in cloth view and cloth sim

  • Warp Winding Plan - add recognition for patterns of 3 and 4 colors.

  • Loom Driver Support Louet loom driver support is currently in testing and will be released soon.

  • Remove tabby - permanently and also for visualization only.

  • Mathematically derived design lines from specified inflection points

  • Treadle Reducer (similar logic to Tim's Treadle Reducer)

  • Treadle Expander - eliminate multi-pedal treadling when you have extra treadles.

  • Fabric Analysis (ability to design in the drawdown, only vary the tieup)

  • Support Swedish drawdown view.

  • Identify skipped or duplicated threads in warp or weft.

  • Sectional Warping Printout for color sequences

  • Weaver's Project Writeup to be included in the TempoWeave design that allows rich text, pictures, etc. that can be retained with the design and printed.

  • Saving Zoom Levels - possible default for the application, also by file; also save zoom level for Dobby

  • Tromp as Write - Adjusted for Overshot
