Draw a chart. Watch it become real yarn — relaxed, shaded, ply by ply, while you draw. İlmek is a pattern studio for weaving, knitting, crochet and Turkish oya lace that shows your work in 3D yarn instead of flat squares.
WHY A YARN PREVIEW CHANGES EVERYTHING
Every other charting app stops at a grid. You guess how the colourwork will sit, how hard the floats will pull, whether the lace will hold its shape. İlmek answers the question you actually have: if I make this chart in these yarns, what will the cloth look like?
FOUR CRAFTS, ONE STUDIO
• Weaving — threading, treadling, tie-up and lift plan
• Knitting — knit, purl, colourwork, ribs, cables, Fair Isle
• Crochet — including tapestry crochet
• Oya — Turkish needle lace, charted properly for the first time
A REAL YARN ENGINE, NOT A FILTER
A Metal GPU solver relaxes every yarn centreline under bending, stretch and contact forces, then draws it as a shaded tube with fibre detail and ambient occlusion. Spin the fabric, pinch down to a single ply, change the light. Full frame rate on iPhone and iPad.
A CHART EDITOR BUILT FOR ONE FINGER
• Pencil, line, rectangle, ellipse, fill, eyedropper and eraser
• Selection with copy, cut, paste and nudge
• Mirror and rotational symmetry while you draw
• Pinch-zoom canvas with a glass dock that never covers your work
• Undo everything
STRUCTURE CHECKS IN PLAIN WORDS
Long floats, stranded floats, unbound ends and unsupported oya loops are flagged on the chart as you work — before you cast on, not after.
YARNS YOU CAN FEEL
Choose fibre, ply, twist and colour: cotton, wool, silk, linen, mohair. Each one changes how the stitch sits and how the light falls on it.
