Loom is the knitting and crochet tracker that fits the way you actually craft. Keep every project, yarn, and pattern in one place - then pick up where you left off without losing your count. -- PROJECTS -- Log every work-in-progress with a start date, needle or hook size, gauge, notes, and up to 3 progress photos (free) or unlimited photos (Pro). A built-in row counter lives on the project detail screen so you never lose your place. Projects move through clear stages - Active, Frogged, Hibernating, Complete - so your list always reflects reality. -- COUNTERS -- The primary stitch counter tracks your main row or round count with big +/- buttons and haptic feedback. Pro subscribers can add up to 5 secondary counters per project to track repeats, pattern sections, increases, or any other number that matters to your project independently. -- YARN STASH -- Build your stash one skein at a time. Log weight, yardage, fiber content, colorway, brand, and quantity. See your total stash yardage at a glance. Find the right yarn by scrolling or searching. Link yarn to projects so your stash and WIP list stay connected. -- PATTERNS -- Save your pattern library in Loom. Add a pattern title, designer, source (book, magazine, Ravelry, personal notes), and any custom notes you want to remember. Free accounts hold up to 5 patterns; Pro is unlimited. -- PRO FEATURES -- Upgrade to Loom Pro to unlock: - Unlimited patterns and progress photos - Secondary counters (up to 5 per project) - Full Stats dashboard showing total projects, active WIPs, total stash yardage, and more - CSV Export - download your entire project list, yarn stash, and pattern library as a spreadsheet to open in Numbers, Excel, or Google Sheets - Year in Fiber - generate a beautiful shareable summary card of your crafting year, showing projects finished, yards stashed, patterns added, and photos captured -- YEAR IN FIBER -- At any point in the year, tap Year in Fiber in your profile to see your crafting year summarised on a single card. Share the card as an image to celebrate your progress with your knitting group or social feed. -- CSV EXPORT -- Tap Export in your profile to download a CSV file containing all your projects, all your yarn, and all your patterns. Open it in any spreadsheet app for your own records or to share with a fellow crafter. -- DESIGNED FOR CRAFTERS -- Loom uses warm, textile-inspired colors and a clean layout that puts your projects front and center. Dark mode is fully supported. All your data lives on your device and syncs securely via iCloud - no account required beyond your Apple ID. -- SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS -- Loom Pro is available as a monthly or annual subscription.
