Preparing a digital jacquard design for production requires more than simply creating the right visual pattern. The design also needs to match the technical specifications of the weaving machine, including yarn density and hook count. The latest version of ArahPaint makes this process faster and easier...
Great news for all Arahne users working on Apple Silicon devices: ArahWeave now runs correctly on macOS Golden Gate 27.0. To ensure a smooth upgrade experience, just follow two quick steps: Install the latest XQuartz 2.8.6. This is required for proper X11 support on macOS. ...
Arahne has completed a unique summer project: the full digitization of 黑白经纬织物组织设计图集 下册 (Atlas of Black‑and‑White Warp and Weft Fabric Weave Design, Volume II) by Shen Gan (沈干). This book, published in 2005 and long out of print, is considered one of the most comprehensive...
In the new version of ArahWeave 10.5 we have upgraded our compression engine from zlib to Zstd and tested it on a real customer dataset of 10,000 files. The benefits are immediate: Smaller files: depending on the fabric file type, size is reduced by 10–30% ...
Designers spend hours inside their tools, and the interface becomes part of the creative environment. With the new dark mode in ArahPaint6 for macOS, we wanted to deliver more than a color inversion. We wanted an interface that feels calm, modern, and visually coherent, especially...
We’ve upgraded the Averaging and Despeckle tools in ArahPaint, turning them into standalone features with dedicated dialog windows. This gives you clearer control over all parameters and an immediate visual preview of the effect. Averaging tool To use Averaging, open Filters > Averaging, then click Preview to...
We’ve expanded the flexibility of variable density in ArahWeave CAD software. Some looms define density through a pattern where each letter represents a different weft density. We initially supported up to nine different densities, but feedback from customers in India weaving highly complex saris showed...
Designing complex warp and weft patterns just became dramatically faster. With the latest update in ArahWeave, you can now paste a full warp or weft pattern directly from an image, eliminating the need to build multi‑color patterns manually. Start by creating a small 8‑bit gradient image...
Dark mode is officially coming to ArahWeave, and while it may look like a simple visual option, it’s the result of a thoughtful redesign aimed at improving real weaving workflows. We work inside the fashion and textile industry, but we don’t follow visual trends just because...
Accurate color is essential when moving from digital fabric design to physical samples, especially when working with PANTONE references, spectrophotometer‑measured yarn colors, or production‑critical colorways. To support this workflow, we’ve created high‑accuracy color print profiles for the Epson L8050 (A4) and L18050 / ET‑18100 (A3)...
