Make punch needle patterns from images, browse patterns, estimate yarn, resize and match materials.
Scored across 7 tools
Each tool has a clearly stated, distinct output: pattern listing vs. single pattern retrieval, yarn estimation, material compatibility checking, material reference, image conversion and resizing. The only mild overlaps are get_material_guide (reference info) versus match_materials (compatibility verdict), and calculate_yarn versus resize_pattern (which also returns yarn figures at the new size). Descriptions do enough to steer an agent to the right tool in practice.
All seven tools use consistent snake_case verb_noun naming: calculate_yarn, find_patterns, get_material_guide, get_pattern, make_pattern_from_image, match_materials, resize_pattern. The only variation is the longer make_pattern_from_image, which still follows the verb-first pattern with a source modifier.
Seven tools is a well-scoped surface for a punch needle design/materials assistant. Each tool covers a distinct workflow step (browse, inspect, convert, resize, quantify yarn, verify materials, reference guidance) with no filler entries.
The surface covers the core lifecycle: discovering and inspecting patterns, generating patterns from images, resizing, yarn calculation and material compatibility, plus reference material guides. Minor gaps exist — there is no way to export, save or share a generated/resized pattern, and no explicit shopping-list/kit assembly tool beyond per-pattern yarn figures — but agents can work around these.
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.
Inputs: unit, shape, width, buffer, +10 more. Returns: item, view
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.
Inputs: level, query, theme, category, +2 more. Returns: view, items, links, notes, +6 more
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.
Inputs: name, guide, topic, material. Returns: item, view
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.
Inputs: id, name, slug, pattern. Returns: item, view
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.
Inputs: url, size, unit, image, +5 more. Returns: item, view
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.
Inputs: yarn (required), fabric (required), needle (required). Returns: item, view
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.
Inputs: id, unit, width, height, +3 more. Returns: item, view
