Three Reasons a Good Chart Still Comes Out Wrong
Most krokbragd that disappoints was woven from a beautiful pattern with three things missing from the page.
The Pattern Goes Flat by Row Nine
The diamonds are right there in the chart and missing from the cloth. Nearly always a pick sequence reversed without noticing, three rows back, in a chart that never told you where to stop and check.
The Warp Keeps Showing Through
Krokbragd is weft faced: the warp is meant to disappear. When it does not, the chart was drawn for a different loom or a different sett, and nobody wrote that on the page.
The Yarn Was Wrong Before You Started
"Worsted" in one country is a different weight in another. A pattern that names one yarn system leaves half its readers buying the wrong skein twice.
Every chart we publish answers all three on the same page as the pattern: the row to stop and check, the loom it was drawn for, and the yarn in both UK and US names. That is the whole idea behind Loom Pattern Lab.
One Way of Reading a Chart, From Bookmark to Rug
Learn it once on a small band. Every pattern we make is drawn the same way, so it never has to be learned again.
Pick the Pattern and the Yarn You Already Own
Every plate carries a skill label and its repeat width, so you see in one glance that it fits your loom, then choose a colourway from the yarn on your shelf. No guessing a pattern from a photo of somebody else's cloth.
Read the Row Before You Weave It
A colour key, a numbered pick sequence and a photo of the finished cloth sit on the same page. Stop and check markers mark the rows where sequences reverse by accident, so a wrong row shows up at row six, while it still costs a minute to fix.
Weave It on Your Loom, at Your Pace
Set up from the diagram drawn for your loom: rigid heddle, frame, inkle or shaft, each on its own page. Beat, hold the cloth against the close up, check the warp is covered, keep the edges tidy and move to the next pick.
Finish It So It Looks Made, Not Attempted
Hems, fringe, hanging rods and pillow backs are drawn step by step, so the piece that comes off the loom goes onto your table, your sofa or your wall, and the next warp is already measured out.

We're Loom Pattern Lab
The first runner never made it to the table. It was meant to be a gift, a krokbragd runner in rust and cream, and by row nine the pattern had gone flat: the diamonds were right there in the chart and missing from the cloth. The pattern was beautiful. The instructions assumed we already knew which loom the author owned, what a pick sequence was, and which yarn size the words meant.
So we read every forum thread we could find, and the same three questions came up hundreds of times, always with half an answer: why is my krokbragd going flat, why is my warp still showing, which yarn do I actually buy. The answers existed. Nobody had put them on the same page as the chart.
Loom Pattern Lab is that page. One standard for every chart, one setup diagram for each loom, one fix beside each common mistake. We draw patterns for the weaver we were at row nine. The runner, second attempt, is on the table now.
