What's New in Spool

1.2

September 20, 2026

- Pattern library improvements: Sort your Pattern library by recently knit, name, designer, or date imported, or use the new search bar to search by name or designer. Pattern cards now carry their designers too! - Reference instructions: In patterns that have instructions that reference past steps (e.g. “Work the second sleeve in the same way”), the app will show the past steps inline and enable knitters to advance through them as they did with the original steps. - Misc fixes: Charts written top-down are now displayed in the correct orientation in the interactive viewer. Needles are correctly removed from “in use” when a project is completed. When the app detects a long session without progress, it now gives an option to pause the session at the time of the last row change. - Performance updates & iOS version compatibility: Scrolling on pages like Patterns and Project instructions is smoother. Log in for iOS versions lower than 26 is far more stable. Some main UI elements that rendered incorrectly on iOS 27 have been fixed.

User reviews

great ideas but poor execution

had hesitation to use this app due to the AI of it all and I should’ve listened to
my gut. The app read my pattern wrong and I spent 12 hours knitting the chart from
the wrong size. Had to frog everything and restart, extremely disappointing

Left Handed Knitter

I have been trying to learn to knit at middle age. I am left handed, so learning to do this right handed is a skill. Spool has helped me stop losing count. The interface is SO easy to navigate and it gives this leftie hope again I can knit.
5 stars all day long

takes the drudgery out so I can focus on the fun part

knitting breaks down to two things for me. the fun of creating and the monotony of tracking where I am on a project. I keep a few projects in rotation so it’s easy to get lost. spool is great because it does most of the tracking for me, so I can focus on
making something I’m proud of. also, spoodle is a vibe.
