My projects

At the bottom right is a button in purple that shows a pen. Here a new project is created.

Kind of handicraft

Since versions 1.40 (Android) and 1.20.0 (iOS), there is a selection of the kind of handicraft before the project is created.
This offers some advantages for the later course and our development. Depending on the kind of handicraft selection, the selectable color palettes change, the color limits adapt to the the kind of handicraft in a meaningful way and when starting the projects, the selection of the kind of handicraft is adapted or skipped.

Currently there are the following kinds of handicraft to choose from

Crochet

  • Color limit per project: 16
  • handicraft techniques: Standard, Tunesian, C2C

Knit

  • Color limit per project: 16
  • handicraft techniques: Standard, DoubleFace

Embroidery

  • Color limit per project: 64
  • DMC / Anchor color palettes in addition to the selection
  • Also good for Diamond Painting, as the Diamond colors mostly match the DMC colors
  • Extra handicraft technique for embroidery

Painting

  • Color limit per project: 32
  • handicraft technique: Standard

Other

  • Color limit per project: 32
  • Optimal to try other unlisted handicrafts. (Mosaics, glue dots, etc.)
  • handicraft techniques: All available (unlocked)

Format

Format size

If you've shared access to photos on your phone, the gallery will open and let you choose your desired motif. If nothing happens when you press Pen, you should go to the Android settings under

Settings > Apps > Wooltasia > Permissions

and make sure that the app may access the photo gallery.

After you've selected a picture, you can then enter your format.

Block scaling and image rotation

Under the desired motif on the right are two buttons.

With the left button you can determine your image section. By default, the button is selected (appears Purple ). If you have the desired image detail and don't want to change anything, you can fix the image section by turning off the button (appears Gray).

With the symbol next to it you can rotate your section. By default, it is not selected ( gray appears). If you want to rotate your section, then select the button (appears Purple ), then you can rotate your picture with two fingers and adjust to your wishes.

Stitch sample

Once you have your desired size and your image set up, it continues with your stitch sample. Tap or swipe on the input mask for your stitch sample.

Important
If you don't know what a stitch sample is, you should urgently visit Stitch sample!

Colors

Currently (as of 1.3.3) you have the possibility to choose from three different color palettes:

  • Pixel colors ( also available in our online shop: wooltasia.shop.
  • Pixel colors (grayscale)
  • Universal colors
  • Universal colors (grayscale)

Colors that are used are marked with an eye symbol. By clicking on a color field, the corresponding color is deactivated and the eye symbol disappears. Click again to activate the color again.

Important
At least two colors must be selected for you to complete the project.

Filter

Now it gets exciting: filters help you squeeze the final quality out of your motif. Even small tweaks can make a big difference, especially for details, edges, and larger color areas.

Classic filters at a glance:

  • Brightness: Makes the overall image lighter or darker.
    Very useful if the source photo is too dark.
  • Contrast: Increases the difference between light and dark areas.
    More contrast can sharpen contours, too much can remove fine details.
  • Unsharp Mask: Selectively sharpens edges.
    Great for bringing important shapes into focus.
  • Dithering Tolerance: Controls how strongly neighboring color tones are merged.
    Higher values often create calmer, cleaner areas.
  • Bayer Dithering: Applies a regular matrix pattern for color transitions.
    This can create a very clean, graphic look for certain motifs.

Tip: Work in small steps and compare the preview after each change.

Finish setup

Once you're done with your settings you can confirm the project above right with the hook.

Now you are in the project overview.

Handicraft technique

You choose the handicraft type before creating the project. After setup, you land in the project overview and start from there. When starting the project, you only need to choose handedness.

Here you choose:

  • right hand for right-handed users
  • left hand for left-handed users

After that, you're ready to start.
