Plan projects with pattern names, designers, recipients, gauges, tools, row goals, and notes.

Loom is local-first and does not require an account. The free tier supports a focused starter library. Loom Pro unlocks unlimited projects, unlimited yarn stash entries, pattern attachments, custom project backgrounds, and CSV/JSON export for makers who want a long-term craft archive.
