## What is PurlBase?

Every knitter and crocheter has a stash, and most of us have no idea what's actually in it. Purlbase fixes that, and does a lot more besides.

Know exactly what you own
Log your yarn with a photo: brand, colorway, dye lot, fiber content, and yardage remaining. Snap a label and you're done in seconds.

See what you can make right now
The "What Can I Make?" tool compares your real stash against a pattern library and shows you projects you can start today, no shopping trip required. See how much of a pattern's yardage your stash already covers, and how close you are to casting on.

Find your people and your shops
Discover local yarn shops, fiber festivals, and guild meetups near you, all in one map. Never miss a trunk show or a swap meet again.

Give your yarn a second life
List yarn you're ready to destash directly from your stash, complete with brand, weight, and dye lot. Set a watch for a specific yarn or colorway you need, and get notified the moment someone lists a match, including that one discontinued dye lot you've been hunting for.

Purlbase helps you:

Log yarn with a photo, including dye lot, so you never lose track of what you own
Discover patterns you can make today with yarn already in your stash
Browse shops, festivals, and guild meetups near you
Buy, sell, and trade yarn with other makers, with alerts for the exact dye lot you need

Whether you're building a stash, hunting for a match, or looking for your next local fiber festival, Purlbase brings your whole craft into one place.
