## What is Purl & Paper?

Purl & Paper is a calm, beautifully designed knitting workspace for keeping your patterns, projects, yarn, and notes in one private place.
Import your knitting patterns, open an ongoing project, mark up the PDF with Apple Pencil, move your row guide, and keep row and repeat counters close at hand. Everything is designed for the way knitters actually work: pausing, restarting, checking yarn, making swatches, adjusting details, and coming back exactly where you left off.
Use Purl & Paper to:
- Save and organize knitting patterns
- Track ongoing, finished, frogged, and future projects
- Write directly on patterns with Apple Pencil
- Use row and repeat counters independently
- Move and resize a row guide while knitting
- Record yarn details, dye lots, care notes, and storage locations
- Compare yarn details when substituting yarn
- Save gauge swatches with photos, yarn, size, and measurements
- Upload finished-project photos and record final details
- Keep a To Knit list for future ideas
- Use a built-in knitting glossary while working
- Export backups so your knitting records stay yours
Purl & Paper is made for knitters who want something warmer than a spreadsheet, calmer than a social platform, and more organized than scattered PDFs and notes.
Your knitting table, in your iPad.
