Visual Wrap and Visual Weave have the capacity, I think.

One of the thread suppliers might also have such a thing.

Do a search for Dave Barrett's Guide Wrap Designer, that may be what you're looking for.

These are the notes from the software:

"Unzip the attached files then double click on GuideWrap.htm.
The zip file contains 2 main things GuideWrap.htm and a
directory named threads. The threads directory contains
files that are the color samples that are used. You need to
unzip everything in the zip file. The threads directory must
exist in the same directory as GuideWrap.htm and it must
contain the color samples. Then, when you select a color
from the drop box it will automatically change. To change a
width type a new value then press enter or click some where
else on the page."

Baz,

You are probably inundated with these requests; but would be so kind as to sent me a copy of the program?

You can also send me an e-mail and I will send you a link where you can download it, but, if you copy and paste the following into a search engine, it should be the first link on the list:


Guide Wrap Color Designer by Dave Barrett


When you get to the host site, there's a text file of instructions immediately following the download link.
