About Thread & Hoop

Free, simple tools for people who stitch.

Thread & Hoop started with one question: why should turning a favorite photo into a cross-stitch chart mean installing an app, making an account or paying for a download? Our pattern maker does it in your browser, for free, and gives you a proper printable chart with DMC thread colors.

Alongside it you'll find a searchable DMC color chart, a size calculator, a floss calculator and plain-English guides for beginners.

How we keep it free
