About YarnChooser
YarnChooser helps you plan beautiful yarn projects using the yarn you already own. Instead of guessing which colors work together, YarnChooser analyzes your personal yarn stash and generates balanced, visually pleasing color combinations for projects of any size, for any occasion. You can add yarn swatches by taking photos with your camera or importing images from your photo library. Each yarn is stored in your personal collection, making it easy to reuse and organize your colors across multiple projects. When you’re ready to start a project, YarnChooser creates recommended color sets based on proven color harmony principles and curated color schemes. You can fully customize the results by forcing specific colors you want included or excluding colors you don’t want used. Whether you’re crocheting, knitting, weaving, or planning a future project, YarnChooser makes color selection faster, smarter, and more creative. Features: • Store and manage your personal yarn color library • Add yarn swatches using your camera or photo library • Generate color combinations for projects of any size • Choose from multiple color schemes and palettes • Force specific yarns into a project • Exclude colors you don’t want to use • Get consistent, visually balanced color results every time YarnChooser is designed for yarn lovers who want confidence in their color choices and less trial-and-error when starting new projects.
