Where do these equivalents come from?

Neither Nabbi nor Hama publishes a table from one to the other: each equivalent is the Hama bead whose screen color is closest, measured with the ΔE2000 difference.

The other 30 get the Hama bead closest on screen. 14 of the 30 equivalents have a difference below 5, which is very close. The Stixiva workshop makes the same choice when you switch a whole pattern from Nabbi to Hama.

Another question? Write to contact@stixiva.com.

Is the Nabbi to Hama conversion exact?

No: two brands never have exactly the same shades. Neither brand publishes a table to the other, so we give the Hama bead closest on screen, with the ΔE2000 difference (below 2 is barely visible; above 10 the difference shows).

How do I convert a whole list of Nabbi beads to Hama?

Search this chart one number at a time. In the Stixiva workshop, « Changer de marque » (change brand) converts every bead of a pattern from Nabbi to Hama at once. The Stixiva workshop itself is in French for now; the English interface is on its way.

Are the colors on screen accurate?

They are approximate display colors. Always compare with a real bead before buying, especially for a large background.

Switch a whole pattern to Hama

In the workshop, one click converts every bead of a pattern from Nabbi to Hama and updates the shopping list.
