BEADKIND / FIELD NOTES

How it works

The workflow, examples and limits behind every tool.

01

Bracelet fit ↗

Centre-line length = wrist + ease + π × bead diameter. Subtract clasp length, then floor-divide by bead diameter.

Example: 160 mm wrist, 10 mm ease, 8 mm beads and no clasp give 24 beads and about 3.133 mm unfilled length.

Approximate circular geometry; ignores bead-hole shape and cord stretch. Test a sample before cutting.

02

Strand count ↗

Count = floor((strand − ends) ÷ bead pitch). Pitch includes any measured gap.

Example: 400 mm length, 40 mm ends and 6 mm pitch give 60 beads.

Identical pitch only; irregular beads should be measured as a sample strand.

03

Pattern repeats ↗

Repeats = floor(total beads ÷ beads per motif). Leftover beads remain unassigned.

Example: 60 beads and a 2A + 1B + 1C motif give 15 repeats: 30A, 15B, 15C.

Up to three colours; no automatic layout or copyrighted pattern library.

04

Project cost ↗

Total = beads × unit price + findings + hours × hourly rate.

Example: 60 beads at 0.2, findings 3, half an hour at 10 gives 20 currency units.

One currency throughout. No live prices, tax or profit guarantees.

05

Local work, explicit limits

Each workspace reports its input and file limits. Imports validate the supported format before asking to replace saved work. Plain text is displayed as text, never executed as markup. Both languages use the same tools; the root address always opens in English, with Chinese under /zh/.
