Visualize Any Material
How would my cardigans look in another fabric?
Ask the studio to show your cardigan in cotton, silk, denim, leather, velvet or linen, as images, before you order samples.
On this platform the AI does the design and visualisation work and a human pattern maker cuts the pattern. That split is deliberate. How the pattern is made.
Fabric Simulation for a cardigan
Fabric simulation shows the same cardigan in different cloths side by side, so drape, sheen and weight can be compared before swatches are ordered.
Compare a cardigan in two cloths of similar weight first; the difference in drape is easier to judge.
Wool knit drapes the most and linen knit the least: the two ends of the comparison.
What you get
The same cardigan rendered in two or more cloths side by side, so drape, sheen and texture can be compared.
Step by step
- Start from one settled image of the cardigan.
- Pick cloths of similar weight first, then one contrast.
- Compare the drape at the hem and the sheen on the folds.
- Order swatches of the two finalists before deciding.
A common mistake
Choosing a cloth from a render alone: it shows the character of a cloth, not how heavy it feels in the hand.

Typical trade ranges, not one mill's figures: confirm them with your mill.
