Squiggle pattern: tight wave, wide wave, thick line in three colourways

Squiggles — Wavy lines a hair wide with a two-millimetre wave, running in even rows a few millimetres apart, the amplitude constant, the whole frame reading as a fine rippled texture with clean ground between rows., squiggle repeat, wavy lines of one even weight with rounded caps, amplitude and period constant on every mark, the ground left open between them, flat vector line, no texture

The squiggle is the scribble tidied: a deliberate wavy line of even weight, repeated at a steady rhythm. These nine hold a tight, quick wave, a wide slow wave and a thicker heavier line, all built on that same even-width rule. Ask for a different line colour and the same three rhythms carry it.

Frequently asked questions

What size do these print at?
Each squiggle field is a seamless repeat at A3 proportions, printing clean at A4 or scaling to fabric yardage.
Can I get a different line colour?
Yes — name any colour, and the same three wave rhythms render it.
What's the difference between the three rhythms?
Tight wave uses a short, fast amplitude and period; wide wave stretches both out for a calmer rhythm; thick line keeps a mid rhythm but weights the line heavier.
Is a squiggle the same thing as a scribble?
Related but distinct — a scribble is loose and uneven, while a squiggle keeps the line's width and wave even and deliberate, which is why it reads as designed rather than doodled.

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.
