Trace glowing threads, breathe with music that never repeats, and turn your favorite photos into cross-stitch patterns. Your calm, one stitch at a time.
Slow down. Take a breath. Stitch.
Thread & Needle is a calming cross-stitch color-by-number game. Pick a thread, trace the numbered cells with your finger, and watch a picture come to life — one soft, satisfying stitch at a time. No needles, no knots, no mess. Just a quiet moment for yourself.
WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT
• Real-feeling embroidery — every cross has thread sheen, twist and a gentle shadow on the fabric, so your work looks truly handmade.
• Relaxing flow — drag to stitch whole rows, feel a soft haptic tap with each stitch, and hear a gentle note that turns your strokes into melodies.
• Music that never repeats — ambient soundscapes are composed live on your device: Dawn, Rain and Night. Or choose Silence and listen only to your stitches.
• Clear and easy — bright stitched threads against a pale, numbered chart make it easy to see exactly what’s left. Tap “Find” to jump to the next cell.
• Zoom and explore — pinch to zoom from the whole picture down to a single stitch.
SOMETHING NEW EVERY DAY
• Pattern of the Day — a fresh, cheerful picture waiting for you daily.
• Happy Little Things — hot-air balloons, rainbows, sunflowers and ice cream.
• First Stitches — tiny pieces for a five-minute break.
• Landscapes — mountain dawns, moonlit lakes, seaside sunsets and misty forests.
• Mandalas — ring by ring, from the centre out. Generate a brand-new mandala anytime.
• Folk Ornaments — timeless symmetric patterns.
