TurnStylerThis program can use cards with 2-holes – Inkle
weaving. You can plan pickup drafts with this software. Or create a
blank graph to use. This is the draft for pickup for a 2 thin, 1
thick warp. By skipping the extra thins it is easier to see the
patterning You can turn off the slant and have a goodskipping the
extra thins it is easier to see the patterning. You can turn off
the slant and have a good design board. Inkle-2.cwv would be the
threading draft while Inkle-2b.cwv is the design draft. You can
install TurnStyler and open the draft files in TurnStyler.
(TurnStyler-drafts folder. The actual program is in the software
folder.)
