Your yarn stash shouldn't be a mystery. Yarnventory helps crocheters and knitters keep track of their yarn, patterns, projects, and works-in-progress — all in one organized place. KNOW WHAT YARN YOU HAVE Build a searchable yarn inventory with the details that actually matter, including brand, color, weight, fiber, quantity, dye lot, hook and needle sizes, price, store, care instructions, and more. Add a photo to make yarn easy to recognize at a glance. KNOW WHERE YOU PUT IT Have yarn spread across bins, bags, shelves, and rooms? Save storage locations so you can find the yarn you need without digging through your entire stash. KEEP YOUR PROJECTS ORGANIZED Create projects and track whether they're active, paused, or completed. Connect projects to the yarn and patterns you're using, add notes, record storage locations, and quickly see what you're currently working on. TRACK YOUR PROGRESS Built-in row and stitch counters help you keep your place while you crochet or knit. Yarnventory also remembers when you last worked on a project, making it easier to return to a WIP after time away. ORGANIZE YOUR PATTERNS Save patterns you want to make, add photos and notes, mark favorites, rate patterns, track their status, and connect them directly to your projects. FIND YOUR STASH FAST Search and filter your yarn instead of scrolling through everything you own. Find yarn by details such as name, brand, color, fiber, quantity, or favorites. KEEP EVERYTHING CONNECTED Yarnventory isn't just a list of yarn. Your stash, patterns, and projects work together so you can see what you own and what you're using it for. SYNC WITH ICLOUD Keep your Yarnventory data available across your supported Apple devices using iCloud. START FREE Organize up to 20 yarns and 5 projects with the free version of Yarnventory.
