SkeinSmart

For knitters & crocheters

Never lose your place in a pattern again.

Paste any pattern. SkeinSmart tracks where you are, row by row — across every device. Pick the project back up after a week away and it's exactly where you left it.

Works great on phone, tablet, and laptop. Installs as a home-screen app.

Why knitters switch

Pattern-aware row tracking

Paste text, PDF, or a URL. We extract rows automatically — even open-ended repeats like “Repeat rows 3–4 until…”.

Sync that just works

Start on your phone on the couch, resume on your iPad at the coffee shop. Your current row follows you around.

Knitting mode

One row, full-screen, huge tap targets. Voice advance if your hands are full. Screen won't sleep mid-row.

AI-powered tools

Let AI help you design, parse patterns, and estimate materials.

Design Brief Generator

Describe what you want to make, and get pattern direction suggestions with yardage guidance.

Pattern Parser

Paste a confusing pattern. AI unpacks abbreviations, clarifies syntax, and reformats for readability.

Shopping List with Cost Estimates

Extract yarn requirements and browse matched yarn with price estimates from major retailers.
