At Arahne, we’re always looking for ways to streamline the textile design process while maintaining high-quality results. One of our latest features involves reusing weaves that were originally created through color-shading technique in ArahWeave. These weaves, rich in detail and structure, serve as a powerful...
We've digitized a new collection of patterns from Co Spinhoven: Celtic Charted Designs. While this book focuses on needlecraft rather than weaving, many of the patterns can be interpreted as weaves or can serve as components for jacquard imagery. The digitized collection contains 405 files in...
ArahPaint6 now supports its own native .ARI format, allowing users to save images with layers. At Arahne, we’ve always used standard formats.
