Fill Warp or Weft with Color

Threading version of the color fill panel

The Warp Color Fill panel sets up simple repeating color sequences of up to four different colors.

Find this panel as the menu item Color Fill in the Threading or Treadling menus.

The Treadling menu Color Fill item gives a similar panel, but laid out so that the preview pane is vertical.

  1. Set the pattern to be repeated, either by selecting one of the presets from the drop down list, or by typing the sequence into the box using letters A B for two colors, A B C for three colors or A B C D for all four colors. The sequence is always typed left to right, but reverses when it appears in a right to left warp color bar.

  2. The stepper control stepper control lets you change the order of preset or typed sequences, for example the sequence AABC can be changed to ABCA, BCAA or CAAB.

  3. Select colors represented by the colors A B C and D by dragging colors from the color palette and dropping each color into the boxes labelled A B C and D.

  4. Check the preview pane to see that the sequence is satisfactory.

  5. Click Replace to fill the entire warp, or click Add to End to append to the end of an existing color sequence.
