Skeins turns a photo of your painted needlepoint canvas into an exact thread shopping list — so you buy the right colors, in the right amounts, the first time.
Photograph your canvas and Skeins matches every color to real thread from the brands you already stitch with — Pepper Pot, Silk & Ivory, Appleton, Planet Earth, and more — then estimates how many skeins you need for your mesh count. No more guessing at the shop, over-buying, or running out mid-project.
WHAT YOU CAN DO
• Match colors from a photo — tap any area of your canvas and Skeins finds the closest real thread.
• Estimate skeins — get a per-color count based on your canvas size, mesh, and a buffer you control.
• Keep a canvas log — save every project, then log what you actually used so estimates get smarter over time.
• Track your thread stash — record what you already own and Skeins flags colors you don't need to buy again.
• Browse the stitch library — 130+ illustrated stitch guides, from Basketweave to decorative stitches.
• Shop your list — send your thread list straight to a local needlepoint shop's cart, or take it with you in person.
BUILT FOR NEEDLEPOINTERS
Skeins understands mesh counts, skeins vs. hanks, and how real thread covers canvas — because it was made by stitchers, for stitchers. The more you log, the more it tunes estimates to your personal tension.
FOR SHOPS & STUDIOS
Needlepoint shops can share a store workspace: a shared canvas log sorted by designer, custom threads, and thread plans to kit and send to customers.
