What is it about?
Generic textile editor with an interface optimised for quickly creating models of non-rectilinear weavings (wefts woven into a braid of crossed warps, sprang, lace), for showing the effect of the tightness of the threads in the arrangement of the crossings and for printing .pdf images of the model.

Why is it important?
The editor is generic because the basic object is a crossing of two threads (instead of working with straight threads in a grid pattern). It has an interface to quickly model a textile and to locally modify the structure (like a museum curator may need it when documenting an artefact). It can automatically arrange the crossings in a textile-like manner, showing ex. if the horizontal threads are tighter than the vertical ones.
