About YarnWiz
YarnWiz is the knitting companion your stash has been waiting for - made by a knitter! Snap a photo of any yarn label and YarnWiz instantly logs the brand, weight, yardage, and colorway. No manual entry, no guesswork. Build your complete stash library and finally know what you actually have (yes, even that mystery skein from the festival three years ago). Then let the magic happen. YarnWiz matches your stash to real patterns based on what you own right now. Browse your matches, filter by category, and go straight from "I have yarn" to "I know what to cast on next!" Features: Instant label scanning: snap, scan, done Full stash management with yardage tracking Pattern matching based on your actual stash Full integration with Ravelry Save patterns from Ravelry to your library or wishlist Project tracking from cast-on to bind-off Whether you're a one-project-at-a-time knitter or someone whose stash has its own zip code, YarnWiz helps you spend less time wondering and more time knitting. Your yarn is waiting. What will you make? Terms of Use: https://yarnwiz.com/terms

What’s new
Version 1.2.9 · Updated October 27, 2026
New Features Describe what you want to knit in Browse Ravelry patterns, like “seamless sweater with no cables”, and the filters fill in for you. New filters for cables, lace, seamless, top down and raglan sleeves, including leaving them out. Dark pages for pattern PDFs: tap the moon icon to read in low light. Hide or show the floating row counter from the counters menu. Color Customizer: paint your own repeat, shape sliders for body and sleeve length, and “Pick any color” from your palette, a color wheel or a photo. Share a finished project as a story-sized picture with your photo, yards used and knitting time. Pattern PDFs reopen on the page you left off, and you can double tap the highlighter to lock it in place. A “Something wrong? Tell us” link on label scans, pattern details and colorwork charts. App Improvements Easier skein picker: type any amount or use plus and minus. Simpler Ravelry stash buttons (“Get stash from Ravelry” and “Send stash to Ravelry”), and “Delete Ravelry Data” now saves a backup first. Better yarn color reading from photos, plus zoom and full-screen view when copying a chart motif. Bug Fixes Fixed a photo added later to a yarn not showing on the stash list. Fixed the row counter getting stuck at the bottom of the pattern screen. Fixed PDF patterns freezing on a slow connection, and marks changing size or landing on the wrong pages after you zoom or delete pages. Fixed the eraser missing quick swipes and the skein count resetting to 1 for a scanned yarn already in your stash. Fixed Ravelry stash import leaving out yarn, notes and weight, and used-up or adjusted yarn still showing the full amount. Imported projects now link back to their yarn. Fixed several Browse Ravelry filters returning no results, and the library import getting stuck on very large books. Fixed per-size yarn amounts not matching a pattern’s yardage, and mismatched sleeve stripes in the Color Customizer preview.
