Colour

Colours that have names, and a share of the carpet.

A workshop talks about colour differently from a screen. So in Toranj a colour is a yarn with a name, and you can see exactly how much of the carpet it covers.

    Several colourways, one drawing

    Madder ground for one buyer, indigo for another. A colourway changes the colours and nothing else, so an edit to the drawing reaches them all.

    Name the dye

    Give each colour the name your dyer uses. It appears on the point paper and in the colour table, and those names come with the design wherever it goes.

    See each colour's share

    Every colour shows how much of the carpet it covers. A colour under a tenth of a percent gets flagged, because it may not be worth a spool.

    Colours that match on the loom

    Mark two colours as the same yarn and they count as one everywhere, in the weaving check, in the row counts and in the wool order.
