Lets clear a few things up

Lets clear a few things up

What is The Color Card?

The Color Card helps stitchers get back to stitching faster by creating tools that make thread and canvas planning easy.

Why The Color Card vs other apps?

Other apps are built on AI to make color assumptions based off of uploaded images. The Color Card's thread color tools and matches have had real human eyes on each match to ensure accurate matching.

Can I try the tools for free?

Yes! Guests who do not have an account have 3 successful uses per tool. These attempts are refreshed every 14 days!

What happens after I use up my free tool uses?

After using your last attempt, you will be prompted to either create an account if you are not logged in already, and if you are logged in, you will be prompted to upgrade your account to unlock unlimited access. Free account attempts refresh every 14 days, and once the reset refreshes your access, the 'block' will disappear until you have exhausted your attempts once again!

I'm a beginner and new to needlepoint. Can I use the tools?

Nope! The Color Card's tools were built with the beginner stitcher, the experienced veteran and everyone else in between in mind. If you purchase threads for your needlepoint hobby, which is most of us!, then the tools are for you.

Can I use The Color Card's tools on mobile?

Yes. The Color Card is designed to work across desktop, tablet and mobile so you can use it wherever you stitch.

How accurate are the thread color matches?

Thread color matches are designed to provide thoughtful, confidence-building recommendations based on created & available conversion data. Although we confidentially use The Color Card ourselves to kit our canvases, we always suggest going to your local needlepoint store in person to compare threads if you have concerns.

What is the Thread Color Finder tool?

Find corresponding and closely matched colors across popular needlepoint thread lines. Select the thread and color you’re starting with, choose the line you want to match it to, and view the available equivalents.

What is the Thread Coverage Calculator tool?

Estimate the number of skeins or cards needed based on canvas area, mesh count, stitch type, and thread buffer.

What is the Canvas Kitting Planner tool?

ETA --> TBD (status: pre-production, last update: 07/08/2026) Upload a photo of your needlepoint canvas and turn it into a personalized thread and quantity plan. The Canvas Kitting Planner identifies the colors used throughout the design, estimates how much of the canvas each color occupies, and matches those colors to specific shades within your selected thread line. You’ll be able to review and refine the detected palette by selecting color areas directly on the canvas, adjusting inaccurate matches, and adding, removing, or combining colors as needed. Once you enter the canvas dimensions and mesh count—and choose your stitch type and preferred extra-thread buffer—the planner calculates an estimated number of skeins or cards needed for each matched color. The result is an organized, canvas-specific kitting plan designed to make selecting and purchasing thread faster, easier, and far less dependent on guesswork.
