User reviews

So helpful

Love this app! Zooming into the stitch guides is so helpful and estimating thread on canvases is such a pain normally and this does it for you. I’ll happily pay for it to not have to frog my canvases!

Crazy Expensive!

$109 dollars a year or $10 month! Really?? I’m no math whiz, but it’s not THAT difficult to estimate yarn or thread yardage. And there’s any number of books with stitch dictionaries that can provide the diagrams of hundreds of stitches.

All the logistics in one place!

This app has been a lifesaver for my needlepoint projects! It enables users to figure out exactly how much thread they’ll need for a project, provides guides for stitches, keeps a canvas log, and connects to needlepoint stores for convenience. No more running out to the store mid project or rush ordering more thread. Highly recommend!

Yes, Skeins can scan thread tags with your camera to automatically fill in brand, color number, name, dye lot, and yards per skein. It then cross-references your stash against project estimates to show what you're missing.
