Super Helpful

Picture this, you find the yarn of your dreams. You know you want a cardigan but don’t have a pattern selected. With this app you can go ahead and buy the yarn and be very much in the ballpark of what you’ll need. You’ll find a pattern later.

At My Fingertips

Being a yarn addict, I’m always looking at a new skien or ball somewhere and wondering how much I’d need to make a (fill in the blank). This little app is my constant companion for a quick calc on that. Great for a general—and in my experience—pretty accurate guesstimate of yardage needed. Love it!

Quick and simple to use

Been using this app for years. Perfect for figuring out yarn amounts when I have no pattern in mind but love a particular yarn. Or if a pattern doesn’t include the information.

Useful!

Simple but very useful. Especially on the go

Genial

Mit dieser App weiß man immer, wieviel Wolle man für sein Projekt benötigt. Sehr hilfreich bei spontanen Einkäufen!
