Everything in one place

From stash to finished object — SkeinSmart keeps your whole craft life organized.

Know what you have

Snap a photo of any yarn and AI identifies the weight, fiber content, and color. Build a searchable stash you can actually use. No more mystery skeins.

Make anything

Generate a custom pattern sized to your yarn, import from Ravelry, or paste a messy PDF — we parse it into trackable rows.

Never lose your place

Big-target craft mode with swipe-to-advance. Counters sync across devices in real-time. Works for knit and crochet — because crocheters count rows too.

Built for crocheters. Not bolted on as an afterthought.

Most "knitting and crochet" apps are really knitting apps with crochet squeezed in later. You can tell — the terminology is off, the stitch counts don't fit, and half the features quietly assume you're working with two needles. SkeinSmart was built for both crafts from day one. Crochet-specific stitch counting, pattern formats, and terminology that matches how you actually work.
