Capabilities

Tools 7

calculate_yarn

Estimates the yarn for a punch needle design from its size, the share of each colour and the needle and loop height, or from a measured swatch. Returns metres, grams and whole skeins for each colour.

Discovered
find_patterns

Lists the original punch needle patterns in the Punchneedle.ai library, filtered by theme and level. Each pattern shows its finished size, number of colours, level and preview image.

Discovered
get_material_guide

Returns the website's guide to one punch needle material: needles, needle sizes, fabric, monk's cloth, yarn, floss, hoops or glue. The guide holds its sections, tables and related pages.

Discovered
get_pattern

Returns one library pattern with its size, colours, making steps, materials and the yarn each colour needs in a fine-wool kit and a rug-wool kit.

Discovered
make_pattern_from_image

Converts a public PNG, JPEG or WebP image into a punch needle pattern with the website's pattern converter. Returns the pattern as a stitch grid preview, its colours and the yarn each colour needs in a fine-wool kit and a rug-wool kit.

Discovered
match_materials

Checks whether a punch needle, a fabric and a yarn work together, using the website's material guidance. Returns the verdict for each part, what to change and the checks to make on a swatch.

Discovered
resize_pattern

Rescales a library pattern, or a design of a given size, to a new width or height with the proportions kept. Returns the new dimensions, the number of printed A4 and US Letter sheets and, for a library pattern, the yarn at the new size.
