Lina,

Welcome!

We give stitch counts, rather than skeins; you can use those counts with any stitch count calculator online that calculates skeins by using number of stitches and other factors, such as size of cloth, number of plies, length of skeins, etc.

Here is one such calculator:

Hope that helps!

Guadalupesofi,

Welcome!

Your English is spot on!

No worries, you've done absolutely nothing wrong. The "artwork" setting is not available, so that's why you can't change it.
