Weavers, for instance, need more handy info like what are the recommended setts for the yarn, and how many yards per pound. Providing this type of info in your app would be more convenient than needing WiFi to get to the webpage. I guess your other option is to provide a link to each yarn’s page. Also, I’d just love to have a button to push to indicate that I have it in my stock already, or need to buy it. So necessary when I’m in the store and can’t remember! ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2018-03-04* I spend a lot of time trying to match up colors for Shetland sweater designs I’m creating. This app is a wonderful resource, easy to use and always available on my phone or iPad. Would love to have bigger pictures of the yarn colors, but otherwise it’s pretty much perfect! Thank you! ### 4/5 — Great Way to Shop the Store *2017-01-11* The app is easy to use with nice pics of the fibers. I would have given 5 stars except for the notice that the app will slow down my phone as it needs updating. So please update! This is a very useful app. ### 5/5 — Yarntastic! *2013-06-19* Beautiful colors, easy sorting, such a awesome asset for Jamison's great palette. Thank you ### 5/5 — Love this yarn app! *2012-12-05* I just downloaded this great app from Camilla Valley Farm Yarn and I love it. It has all the colors of Jamison Shetland in all weights and that alone in invaluable. It also includes color swatches for Peace Fleece, Cascade and more. It is wonderful to be able to look at a pattern and scroll through the app at the same time to compare colors. I can tell its going to be a big help in trying new color combinations for pattern designing. The app will put you right back to the store to purchase, too. It's a very handy tool for shopping, designing, comparing colors and more. As I was playing around with the app I found myself thinking about how much fun a trip to Canada to visit this cute farm and shop would be. I think I might talk to my husband about a northern vacation! ### 5/5 — Excellent way to pick yarn colors! *2012-06-03, version 1.2* The email feature is a great way to create a permanent list of colours for a weaving project! ### 5/5 — Finally! An app that provides accurate colour selections! *2012-04-11, version 1.1* This easy to navigate app allows for informed and accurate colour selection, ultimately ensuring confidence in the planning stages of knitting and weaving projects. ### 5/5 — christinelovesit *2012-03-29, version 1.1* I downloaded this to my wifes ipod. She loves it. Caught her right in the middle of a weaving project and she has decided to change colour! ### 5/5 — Fabulous App! *2012-03-28, version 1.1* Takes the guess work out of choosing colors that work well together for my knitting projects! ## Frequently asked questions about Yarn Shop ### What is Yarn Shop?
