![]() ![]() Folio is a super soft blend of 65% Alpaca and 35% Rayon / Viscose, and earlier this season we introduced the Folio Color line. Next I tried Berroco Folio Color-another long repeat striping yarn. But on the pin loom it works perfectly-I can imagine a lot of these sewn together as a blanket. The first yarn that came to mind to swatch was Berroco’s Millefiori-a worsted weight blend of 50% Wool and 50% Acrylic in a silky single ply with a long-color repeat that comes in vibrant jewel tones.īecause Millefiori has a soft gentle twist it would not be well suited to a rigid heddle loom-all of the abrasion of the reed moving back and forth over the warp would likely cause breakage. In the last few years, there has been a revival of interest in fun little weaving projects like these, so this week I swatched a few of Berroco’s popular yarns on my Weave-It pin loom. I was drawn to the packaging, and at that time I had never heard of them or even seen one before, but I picked it up because I thought it would be a fun way to swatch yarns for rigid heddle weaving. It must be something special that I am not doing.I found my pin loom in a rummage sale. So please email me with this problem so that I can research and fix it. I tried it on my Mac and the colors seem to save correctly. If this color issue can be fixed, I’ll re-evaluate, but for now, iWeaveIt Pro isn’t usable to me. I also have the app version on my Kindle and have not experienced this issue. I realize that software design is complex and there are a lot of variables involved, but this is priced as professional grade software and I need it to work. There are are lot of little issues that could be improved on, but for now they take a back seat to the color problem. Not just a shade shift, but totally different random hues. You can create a palette of beautiful custom colors, save the file, and the next time you open it up, all of the colors will have changed. The color handling just doesn’t work well. This software has great potential, but I am disappointed with one serious flaw.
