How do I read the numbers?

Each band is numbered in the order you place it, from the small black number at its start.

What do the line styles mean in the symbol diagram?

Each band has its own line style, solid, dashed or dotted, so the bands stay apart in black and white.

Can I change the colours?

Yes. Type the colours you want. The samples here keep theirs.

A loom band pattern shows where each rubber band goes and in what colour, so a child or an adult can place them in order on a pegged loom. These nine cover a fishtail, a starburst and a rainbow ladder bracelet. Each band is a numbered line between two pegs. Choose a colour diagram, a symbol diagram, or a hand-drawn sheet.

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.
