iWeaveIt

I found this app thanks to one of my students. We are currently learning how to draft and experiment by changing the threading, tie-up and treadling options to create various designs to weave. Iweaveit is just what I needed as a teacher to have my students marvel and see how exciting and creative weaving can be. Thank you for creating such a tool to aid me in my classes. As teachers we cannot stay away from the new technologies available out there that can enhance our classes and particularly in weaving help us get closer to potential new weavers.

The website that hosts the guide/manual is not loading. This is very unfortunate as I am new to the app and weaving and need support with getting the most out of the app. Very disappointing for what I paid for this app.

Pretty good app, not entirely intuitive. Looks like most weaving apps are expensive, but for this price having better color options would be nice. I would love to be able to re-arrange the colors on the pallet, and have the ability to put in RGB colors or hex codes, so I could better color match the yarn I have and create shades and tints of a specific color. I would also love a way to save multiple different palettes, besides making a bunch of patterns. I would also appreciate a way to replace colors (en mass) without having to get rid of the previous color- like the paint bucket tool. I would also love a rigid heddle setup option :) But the twill it option is great.

I’ve been using iWeaveIt for years now and it’s always done pretty much everything I need it to. The in-app purchases are worth it. I use it on my iPad which is perfect to put on my castle while I weave. My only issue is that it seems to lag sometimes, but for all I know, that may be my device.

I have found using this for weaving has been so helpful! I love seeing how colors interact and getting a visual for what I’m creating. I also love the tracking of threading and treadling, it keeps me on track and accurate. The one thing I have noticed that could be improved is the tracking for the treadling: I often have 2 or more projects going at the same time and when I go to track the treadling for the one saved file, it notices that I am tracking on another file, and if I click “yes” to start on the file I’m currently on, it then erases where I am at on the previous file I was tracking. It would be VERY helpful if it would save where I am at in the treadling and threading for each individual file that I am using concurrently.

As a new weaver, this app has helped me understand how weave structures work. I’ve learned so much by playing with the tools that helped me experiment in a way I wouldn’t have done without it. Great product!

I’ve been weaving for about a year now, and being able to visualize how changing a draft affects the final look of a project in real time has helped me read drafts much more fluently!

Weaveit is s fine app and works well. Will not display wif files that contain more than I believe it’s 12 shafts but for most weavers that’s not an issue.

The cheapest wif editor I have found (other than on line) and pretty good. The warp, tie up, and treadling areas expand to allow editing with fingers (good) but when they do, they hide part of the draw down (depending on zoom) which is very frustrating when you are trying to shift a pattern to get the desired edges. No repeat capability that I could find, which is unsurprising for the price, but is a feature I would gladly pay extra for. A recent update dramatically improved the iCloud file handling. It can now open and modify files anywhere in iCloud. Creating new files is slightly broken: you can save as untitled, but other names cause a file error. For now, use the Files app to rename new files.

I have been using this app for at least five years and have found this one fits my needs. There are a few other weaving apps available, one of which I purchased and use far less than iWeaveIt. The app works on both of my devices, iPad and MacBook.
