Arahne began developing shading as early as 1996, initially using a black and white warp combined with six colors in the weft. By 2003, we expanded our approach to tapestry construction, using six colors in the warp and three in the weft. A decade later,...
Wood patterns have always been a source of inspiration for textile designers. They can be printed or woven jacquards. In this video we show how to create a walnut burl veneer pattern in ArahPaint. Walnut burl veneer is made from a burl, which is a growth...
We developed a special tool in ArahWeave's Weave browser, which marks the weaves with errors with high probability. The program assumes there's errors on the weaves by calculating the statistics of long floats: how many floats of one, floats of 2, floats of 3...
We issued new release notes in English and Italian containing a selection of new features developed throughout the last year, from January 2024 to January 2025. You will find new interesting functions in ArahWeave and ArahPaint software that will help you with your design and...

In the ArahWeave fabric printout, we added the option to show a single yarn simulation under yarn colors. Previously, ArahWeave could only show the colors that are present in the yarn. For example, in multicolored yarn, we use one primary color and squeeze the remaining...
During the summer, we have inserted in ArahWeave another 1000 weaves, this time not from a collection of weaves, but from an Italian weaving textbook from 100 years ago. Oscarre Giudici, Tessuti di Lana e di Cotone, seconda edizione, Hoepli, Milano 1925. The inner moto...
Superimpose weave is a technique for constructing new weaves by layering one or more weaves on top of the other. In the video below we used an example from Oscarre Giudici's book Tessuti di Lana e di Cotone, published by Ulrico Hoepli in 1925 in...

Our ArahWeave CAD program already has a large collection of weaves included in the standard installation. The enitre weave database has about 41.000 weaves. The weaves were collected and digitized from known weave collection books including Serrure, Poma, Donat, Fressinet, Griswold, Gunetti, Posselt, Pinchetti. We have...
