Count Whole Thread Cuts From Each Skein — Free
Work out how many complete working lengths each skein can supply after a reserve. Leftover centimetres in one colour cannot become a complete cut in another.
The proof surface
This is a material cutting yield, not a craft budget or a price-per-unit comparison. It floors each skein separately and leaves colour-specific remainders visible.
Why the flat version breaks
Rounding up a partial cut
A remainder shorter than the working length is not another full cut.
Pooling different colours
A cream remainder does not replace green thread.
Inferring stitches from length
Tension, fabric and stitch type change consumption.
How to work the skein bobbin
Use the labelled skein length or a measured remainder in centimetres. Separate colours and damaged sections; count only thread suitable for this project.
Use a length appropriate to your technique and thread. The tool does not decide strand count or how many stitches a cut will make.
Allow for knots, tangles or uncertain remnants using the reserve setting. Eight hundred centimetres less a twenty-centimetre reserve gives seventeen complete 45-centimetre cuts.
Match each colour’s yield to a tested requirement, not just the total cut count. Keep spare thread until the project is complete because dye lots can vary.
What the skein bobbin replaces
| Question | Before | Visible working |
|---|---|---|
| Rounding up a partial cut | A remainder shorter than the working length is not another full cut. | Choose a working cut length |
| Pooling different colours | A cream remainder does not replace green thread. | Reserve waste before dividing |
| Inferring stitches from length | Tension, fabric and stitch type change consumption. | Compare with the pattern |
A local arithmetic aid replaces hand calculation, not expert review. No paid AI service is needed.

FIRST-LOAD
Input is processed locally. A state link encodes your inputs in its URL: share only non-sensitive rows. Browser history, clipboard and anyone receiving the link may retain it. Optional AI use below leaves this device; it is not required.
This estimates cutting yield only, not stitch coverage or dye-lot matching. Test the chosen thread and technique on a small swatch.
Data note: Everything runs in this browser tab on the skein bobbin: your skein | usable centimetres | centimetres per cut stays on this device, nothing is uploaded, and the reading is rebuilt only when you press run.
Go deeper: the companion app files the same reading as a climbing rung ladder
The article demo above runs without limits. The companion app keeps a local history, exports the rows as CSV, prints the skein bobbin reading, and holds your drafts on this device — one free run, then $ 4 one-time for the layer that keeps filing.
The skein bobbin reading is complete for free. The optional $4 layer adds print, row CSV and the last five local reading summaries; it does not add hidden answers. Checkout is not configured yet; the article demo remains unlimited.

What this is built on
- Method: Allow for knots, tangles or uncertain remnants using the reserve setting. Eight hundred centimetres less a twenty-centimetre reserve gives seventeen complete 45-centimetre cuts.
- All sample records are invented examples. The app does not fetch measurements, policies, files or personal records.
- Google’s official pricing page, fetched 2026-09-27, lists free-tier access including AI Studio. Optional formatting only; limits and availability can change. Free-tier content may be used to improve products. Never paste private records there.
Before: A remainder shorter than the working length is not another full cut. After: the skein bobbin shows the working beside each named row so the reader can change the assumption and inspect the consequence.
Optional AI formatting, not calculation
For this skein bobbin, use the free AI Studio interface only if available to you, with no paid API key. Manual entry completes the same workflow for free. Supply only fictional or non-sensitive notes. Review its output against the source; never paste unresolved questions into the numeric rows.
Format my non-sensitive notes for a skein bobbin. Return plain rows only: skein | usable centimetres | centimetres per cut. Preserve supplied quantities exactly. Do not guess missing values; list questions separately. Do not calculate or add advice. I will check every row before pasting into the local tool.
Accepted schema: skein | usable centimetres | centimetres per cut. No AI response is executed as code.
