Pattern software/sources:
There are others but I haven’t checked them out.
twistedthreads.org – very clear descriptions of threading/card orientation, turning, etc. You don’t have to download or guess at anything if you read the descriptions on each pattern. There is a Facebook site and an online newsletter (US$10/yr) associated with the user group.
GTT patterns https://www.guntram.co.za/tabletweaving/gtt.htm. Guntrum’s Tabletweaving Thingy
Downloadable software that uses its own set of conventions for threading, turning, etc. that is NOT the same as Wollny or Twisted Threads use.
– many patterns shown on Pinterest use the GTT conventions. You can usually spot them by the yellow section on the right with a numbered list of which cards to turn forward and backwards. S and Z refers to the threading slant and not the tablet slant.
– see Youtube video by KnowKnots “Tablet weaving: how to read a GTT pattern”
