Three detail levels
2,500 line string art

Minimal

2,500 lines

Graphic and open. The quickest to wind, and the easiest to read from across a room.

3,200 line string art

Detailed

3,200 lines

The balance most people choose — real tonal depth without an endless build.

4,000 line string art

Hyperreal

4,000 lines

Dense and photographic. Give it a weekend and it rewards every hour.

Questions
Yes — the generator is unlocked by the access code that comes with the kit. Enter it once and it stays unlocked, with no limit on how many designs you generate after that.

Depending on the detail level you choose, the time required will vary. From our experience, a 2,500-line piece typically takes around 4–6 hours to complete.

But it isn't about how long it takes—we hope you enjoy the process of creating your artwork. Every line, every knot, and every moment you spend building it becomes part of the story, making the finished piece even more meaningful.

40 × 40 cm, with 200 nails evenly spaced around the circle. Thread length estimates shown in the generator assume that board.
Anything with clear contrast between the subject and the background — portraits, pets and silhouettes are reliably good. Busy backgrounds and flat, evenly-lit scenes are the hardest to read in thread.
