What is Flosshaven?
Flosshaven is a community-focused tool for stitchers to track patterns, projects, and floss in one place.
Is Flosshaven like Ravelry for cross stitch?
Flosshaven is inspired by Ravelry and the idea of a community pattern database and project tracker, but built specifically for cross stitch: patterns, floss, designers, projects, favorites, libraries, and stitch progress.
Is Flosshaven free to use?
Yes, Flosshaven is completely free to use.
Do I need an account?
You can browse without an account, but creating one lets you track projects, manage your floss, save favorites, and more.
Can I add my own patterns?
Yes. You can add your own patterns and create your own designer page with links back to your social media or website.
A pattern I want to stitch isn't in the database, can I add it?
Yes. You can add patterns to keep track of your collection, even if they are not already in the database.
Can I track my projects?

How does floss tracking work?
You can add floss to your personal collection, track what you have, and mark what you need to buy. Floss can also be connected to projects.
Who is Flosshaven for?

Is Flosshaven finished?
No, it is still being actively developed. New features and improvements are added regularly.
What about AI-generated artwork or design in patterns?
Flosshaven aims to support transparency around patterns and creators. The goal is to make it easier for stitchers to understand where designs come from and who they are supporting while also having a complete pattern database. If a pattern is based on AI-generated or AI-assisted artwork or design, it should be clearly tagged.
Was AI used in the development of Flosshaven?
Yes, AI is used as part of the development process. For example, to assist with coding and implementation. All features, design, data structures, and decisions are intentionally created and reviewed by a human.
How can I give feedback or suggest features?
