How to Use This Calculator

Select a Weave Structure: Plain Weave (1/1), Twill 2/2, Satin 5-shaft, or Basket 2/2.
Enter Warp Threads for the total number of warp threads in the project.
Enter Weft Picks for the total number of weft picks planned.
Set Shafts Available to the number of shafts on your loom.
Review the Weave Structure, Shafts Needed, and Treadles Needed results, and check Feasible on Loom? to confirm your loom can weave it.
