Skein
Turn a photo you love into a real cross-stitch pattern — with true DMC floss colors — then stitch it on screen, hoop by hoop.
About Skein
Skein turns a photo you love — your dog, a houseplant, a favorite view — into a cross-stitch pattern you can actually make, matched to real DMC floss colors. Pin a photo to the hoop, tap Stitch it, and watch your picture settle into neat little X-stitches on the fabric.
Stitch it your way
Two warm sliders shape the whole piece. Floss sets how many colors to use — fewer for a bold, beginner-friendly chart, more for a richer portrait. Stitches sets the size, from a quick coaster to a wall piece. The hoop re-stitches live as you adjust, and every color in your palette shows up as a wound skein of real DMC floss, numbered so you know exactly what to buy.
A hoop you come back to
- Save your hoops to a personal shelf that follows you across devices.
- Stitch-along on screen — check off rows and sections as you sew them in real life, and watch the picture fill in evening by evening.
- Share a finished hoop as a cozy card, your photo and your stitching side by side.
Made for the couch
Skein is one warm scene and one thumb — a calm, handmade little corner for turning the things you love into something you can hold. Pin a photo. Pick your floss. Start stitching.
How to use
Pin a photo to the hoop — pick one of the samples or bring your own. Tap Stitch it and watch your picture settle into little X-stitches on the fabric, matched to real DMC floss colors. Slide Floss to choose how many colors and Stitches to set the size — the hoop re-stitches live as you go. Save it to your shelf of hoops, then open Stitch-along to check off what you've actually sewn and watch the picture fill in across evenings. When a hoop is done, share it as a cozy card.
