Yarn properties (yarn from the image)

Scan a Yarn for the Fabric View

For a better representation of the knitted fabric, you can scan a yarn, create a stitch appearance from it and place it on the fabric view.

For this, proceed as follows:

    1
    Scan a yarn with a conventional scanner and save this image file in any desired folder.
    Recommended yarn length: 30 cm
    It is important that the background of the yarn is black when scanning and that the light reflects the least possible.
    2
    Click on 根据图片创建纱线... in the 编织资源管理器.
  1. The Windows file explorer is opened. There select the scanned image of the yarn.

The newly generated image for yarn appears in the currently opened folder of the Knit Explorer.
That is why you need to be sure to be in the correct folder when you generate the yarn.

Yarn Properties Dialog Box

Open the Yarn Properties dialog box with double-click on the newly generated image for yarn or via context menu of the yarn.

In the Yarn Properties dialog box, you make the following settings for the background information of the scanned yarn.

名称

Enter a name for the yarn.

组成

Describe the composition of the yarn.

生产商

Enter the manufacturer of the yarn.

注释

Enter a comment.

线圈几何体百分比 %

The stitch geometry determines the yarn thickness. This value affects the entire stitch uniformly.
The maximum value is 300.

If 相同线圈几何体 is switched off, then the yarn thickness can be defined differently for the different areas of the stitch.
But if the 线圈几何体百分比 % value is modified after, then all areas are adapted to this value.

扫描纱线长度

Enter the length by cm of the scanned yarn.

写保护

Locks the settings.

Only the same user can change it.

参数对话框...

Opens the Parameter dialog box where you make settings for the image of the scanned yarn.

织物视图

Opens an image with a magnified fabric view.

Preview

Shows a preview of the fabric view with the settings of the scanned yarn.

纹理颜色

The presentation corresponds to the settings of the scanned yarn.

配色方案

Make the necessary settings for the different colorways of this yarn.

For that also see:

This presentation is displayed in the fabric view, if you activate the 纱线结构 selection in the status bar.
Status Bar of Fabric View

Drag the yarn by drag-and-drop to the fabric view.
The pattern size is shown with the scanned yarn.

If you then make any changes in the yarn properties, then they are displayed in real time in the fabric view.
