At the top of the palette is the current yarn colour. This is the colour that will appear in a warp or weft pattern if you paint directly into the pattern. You can change the current yarn colour at any time by simply moving the cursor onto a yarn in the palette and clicking the LEFT mouse button.

Yarns in the palette are represented by small colour images of the yarns. Each yarn is associated with a letter or pair of letters for easy identification. A palette can hold up to 80 different yarns.
