The 2025 development cycle delivers more than 915 enhancements across ArahWeave, ArahPaint6, and ArahDrape — all focused on improving speed, stability, and everyday workflow efficiency. Highlights Major performance boosts for large fabrics and complex weaves Increased stability and more reliable jacquard/regulator behavior Cleaner, more intuitive weave...
We’ve added a new space‑saving feature in ArahWeave to optimize the generation of fabric technical data. When converting HTML to PDF or embedding images directly into HTML to create a single file, the program can now automatically remove the separate image files, which are typically...
ArahWeave stores fabric technical data in HTML format, along with images such as the customer’s logo, fabric simulations, and weave. However, when sharing or copying the HTML file, the associated image files must also be included in the same directory; otherwise, they will not display. We’ve...
Converting hand-drawn drafts into digital weaves can be a slow tedious process. While ArahPaint’s Guess weave tool usually does the trick of automatically converting weave images into digital ones, some weave prints are just too rough. Luckily, ArahPaint and ArahWeave offer powerful tools to help...
ArahPaint6 now supports its own native .ARI format, allowing users to save images with layers. At Arahne, we’ve always used standard formats. That’s why our paint program originally saved files in .GIF, later switching to the superior .PNG format. This ensured compatibility with other drawing tools...
With a surge of AI platforms now available online—each offering unique features for image generation and editing—I explored a selection of these tools to evaluate their potential in textile pattern design. This short article highlights my insights and outlines the key challenges these tools currently...
Did you miss any of our short video tutorials? No problem! We've compiled all our ArahPaint and ArahWeave short video tutorials in one place on our YouTube channel, making them easy to find without searching through social media. Explore the tutorials and discover the latest features...
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...
