Settings

The Settings allows you to specify settings that apply to all weaving patterns. Settings are automatically saved, and should survive rebooting the loom server.

Settings include:

• Language: which language to use. A language is listed as "preliminary" (in that language) if the translation is not well vetted. As of June, 2025 there are only two translations, both preliminary. Your help to improve existing translations or provide new ones would be much appreciated. Read Translations for more information.

  Note that changing languages reloads the page, but this should be fast and harmless.

• Loom name: the name of the loom, as it appears in the display. Use any name you like; it is just for display.

• Direction control: specify how to change direction (weaving or unweaving, threading or unthreading). See Weave Direction for more information. This setting is not shown for Séguin looms and others that support changing direction from both software and a button on the loom.

• Warp end 1: specify whether to display warp end 1 on the right or left in the Weaving and Threading pattern displays. However, this is as seen from the front of the loom. If you specify threading front-to-back, the threading pattern is displayed as seen from the back of the loom, so end 1 will be on the opposite side than what you specify here.

• Threading: specify whether you prefer to thread right-to-left or left-to-right, and front-to-back or back-to-front. Specifying front-to-back simply changes the Threading pattern display to appear as if you are sitting behind the castle: shaft 1 is displayed at the top and warp end 1 is displayed on the opposite side of that specified in "Warp end 1`".

• Default threading group size: specify the threading group size for newly uploaded patterns. This setting has no effect on any pattern files that are already loaded; use the "Group size" control in the Threading panel to change those.
