Software for spinning, knitting and weaving

Graph paper printing software

A nifty little program to print graph paper in custom sizes with dense lines at an interval you choose. Also does various mathematical graphs e.g log scales so it is good for schools as well. Free of charge, although the author would like a postcard for his troubles.

Stitch Painter

Software to design patterns for weaving, needlepoint, knitting etc. In fact it can be used for anything that requires a grid. Demo available

Aran Paint

A marvellous tool to design aran patterns for knitting. It shows you immediately what the design will look like when knitted. Then you can print it out as a chart, text or a screen shot for use.
