Stitchloom

From a Twitter side-project scrap

Photographs,
reduced to thread.

A private loom for cross-stitchers. Match any image to real DMC six-strand floss, preview it on fabric, and walk away with a chart you can actually stitch.

No account. No server. Your photo never leaves this tab.

Three passes on the hoop

  1. 01

    Drop a photograph

    Portraits, pets, landscapes, album art. Stitchloom reads the pixels in the browser — nothing is uploaded.

  2. 02

    Limit the floss

    Choose stitch width, Aida count, and a palette of 8–48 DMC colors. Dither if you want extra grain.

  3. 03

    Cut the chart

    Export a fabric preview, a symbol chart, a skein shopping list, or the raw JSON pattern.

Matched to DMC, not close-enough RGB.

Every cell is snapped to a curated DMC six-strand palette using a red-mean color distance, then reduced to the colors you actually want to buy. Skein counts assume about 1,750 crosses per skein on 14-count Aida.
