Good questions

Before you cast on.

When does YarnWiz launch?

YarnWiz is live now! It's available today on the App Store for iPhone and iPad. Android is on its way — join the waitlist and we'll email you the moment it lands on Google Play.

Will YarnWiz be available on other platforms?

Yes! YarnWiz already runs on iPhone and iPad, and Android is coming soon. Join the waitlist to be among the first to know when Google Play goes live.

What iOS version is required?

YarnWiz needs iOS 18.2 or later. If your iPhone runs an older version, an update should get you there, and the same camera-based scanning works great on any iPhone that meets that bar.

Can I import my Ravelry patterns and yarn?

Yes! Native integration with Ravelry will be available from the beginning.

What if my yarn has no label, or it's a hand-dyed/handmade skein?

No problem. Scan the skein itself and YarnWiz will estimate the weight and fiber from how it looks. You can fill in the rest by hand, and it'll remember it like any other entry in your stash.

Can I scan several skeins from the same dye lot at once?

One scan, then just tell YarnWiz how many skeins you've got. No need to scan every single one — we know dye lots travel in packs.

Does the scanner recognize international or smaller indie yarn brands?

We cover a wide range of yarn brands, from big names to small-batch indie dyers, and we're always adding more. If we don't recognize a label yet, you can fill in the details yourself and save it to your stash.

Can I edit an entry if the scan gets something wrong?

Always. Every scanned entry is just a starting point, so tap in and correct anything that doesn't look right.

Can I merge or fix duplicate yarn entries?

Yep — if you scan the same yarn twice, YarnWiz will flag it as a likely duplicate so you can merge the entries into one and keep your skein count accurate.

Can I export my stash data?

Yes, you can export your stash anytime, so your info is never locked in.

Can I share my stash or a project with a friend?

Not yet, but it's a popular request. We love the idea of sharing a queue with a knitting buddy, so keep an eye out.

Where do the pattern suggestions come from?

We match your stash against your saved patterns, your wishlist, and any patterns you've uploaded to the app — so you see what you can actually make with what you've already got.

Does matching take yardage and gauge into account?

All of it. Weight and fiber get you in the neighborhood, but yardage and gauge are what tell you whether a pattern truly fits your stash.

Can I use YarnWiz for crochet, or is it knitting-only?

Crochet, knitting, weaving — if it's made from yarn, YarnWiz tracks it. Pattern matching covers both knit and crochet patterns.

Can I track needle or hook size and notes for a project?

Yes, every project has room for needle or hook size, notes, and progress, so the yarn is just one part of the picture.

Can I switch between monthly and yearly Pro billing?

Yes, anytime from your account settings. Switch whenever you're ready.

What happens to my stash if I cancel Pro or uninstall the app?

Cancelling Pro just turns off the extras — your stash itself stays put. Uninstalling the app removes your local data, so make sure iCloud sync is on before you do.

Will my stash transfer if I get a new phone?

Yes — just turn on iCloud sync and your stash backs up automatically, even on the free version. Sign in with the same Apple ID on your new phone and everything's right there waiting.

What happens to my data if I delete my account?

Deleting your account permanently removes your data from our servers.

How do I report a bug or request a feature?

Just email us at support@yarnwiz.com. We read every message, and a good chunk of YarnWiz's roadmap comes straight from makers like you.
