What size do these print at?

Each design is drawn at standard A3 proportions with an even margin, so it prints clean at A3 or scales to A4.

Does the line actually loop the dots correctly?

Yes — the line is drawn to loop around every dot in the grid without crossing itself, which is the defining rule of a real kolam.

Are the dots printed on the page?

Yes — the underlying pulli dot grid is printed beneath the line so a maker can trace or copy the pattern by hand.

Can I get a different grid count?

Yes — the direction field takes any grid count or complexity level, and the same design logic applies.

A kolam starts as a dot grid — pulli — and the line loops around the dots without crossing them. The grid count is the design's name. These nine cover three kolam of different counts, drawn as closed line art on white paper with the dots printed beneath.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
