3. TEXTILE DESIGNING
Textile designing is a technical process
including different methods for production of
textile. It includes both- surface design and
structural design of a textile. Textile designer
must have knowledge of yarn making,
weaving, knitting, dyeing, finishing
processes, and also knowledge about
different types of looms, knitting machines,
and printing processes
4. BASIC PROCESS OF TEXTILE DESIGNING
A sketch of the finished design envisioned by
the textile designer is made for both woven and
printed textiles. The designer's deep
understanding of the technical aspects of
production and the properties of fibers, yarns,
and textile dyes help him in visualizing the end
product
today, most of the professional textile designers
use some form of computer-aided design
software for the purpose

10. WEAVE IT:
Weave It is a weaving software program for
creating, designing and displaying Weaving
drafts and patterns. Weavers create the
threading, treadling and tie-up and WeaveIt will
display the draft as a drawdown.
11. IWEAVEIT:
iWeaveIt for tablets and phones is available on both the
Apple IOS and the Android systems. iWeaveIt app is a
basic drawdown program. Weavers can create and edit
the threading, treadling and tieup.iWeaveIt reads and
writes WIF files. Internet files and emailed files can be
imported with only one click.
12. GRID 'N WEAVEIT
Grid 'N WeaveIt provides basic drawing
tools. It allows you to specify the weaving
properties of the drawing based on warps and
yarns. You can create a grid that prints over
the drawing to help size your weaving.
13. ARAHWEAVE:

graphical browsing of fabrics, weaves,
images, warp/weft patterns, jacquard cards,
superior on-line simulation in real 1:1 size
and density, warp or weft pattern on the
simulation with mouse, and more.
14. PEAK WEAVERS GUILD

threading, treadling, liftplan or tie-up, and
drawdown for both single harness and double
harness weaving
Fabric (yarn interlacement) view
Drawloom Patterning for shaft or unit draw
15. CAD IS USED IN TEXTILE DESIGNING
The CAD/CAM technology facilitates easy
creation of virtually all types of fabric weave and
design, helps simulate the created
weave/design into the virtual fabric in different
color combinations long before the actual fabric
is manufactured. If the designer is satisfied with
his virtual creation then the software again
provides the required parameters in various
formats as per his need to weave the created
