Jo's Kantelier - Generator of Flanders meshes

Below the drawing you can choose your own combination of stitches. JavaScript must be switched on.

Trace the drawing with colours to investigate the flow of the threads.


	pin

c	=	cross
lt	=	twist left pair
rt	=	twist right pair
t	=	twist both pairs

For example " c t c " = cloth stitch.
*: No drawing is available, but the table below will work.

How fast does the pattern repeat?
One combination of stitches and colours repeats faster than another. The table how fast by following the bobbins.

Replace the bobbin numbers by a colour combination, eg. "rrggggrr" for 2 red and 2 green pairs. Then push "refresh", and look what happens in the table.

On the left is shown when colours return to their original position. The figure below illustrates the digits for a particular combination of stitches.

On the right is shown when bobbins return to their original position, the slashes represent threads that run more or less diagonal through the mesh. Does the right column repeat digits through the end? Then threads are running vertically or zigzag.
