Fabric Count Converter

Same pattern, different fabric — see exactly how your finished size changes across every count Wizardi carries, from 14 ct up to 36 ct. Enter your numbers once; the table below updates instantly.

Find your pattern's stitch count on the chart or in the kit's description — it's usually printed as width × height stitches.
Suggested: 2–3 inches, so you have enough to frame or finish

Finished size by fabric count

Stitch count used: 150 × 100 stitches. Click "over two" on any evenweave/linen row to toggle how it's stitched — it changes both the size and the strand count.

Needle size guide

Matched to the same counts — a needle too thick will distort the weave, too thin makes threading harder than it needs to be.

Finished-size and fabric-to-buy figures are estimates; always check your specific pattern's stated size where available. Strand counts reflect common convention, not a fixed rule — check your pattern's instructions and stitch to your own preference.
