no strangers, no algorithm,

The people who
get it.

A quiet place to show what’s on your needles, ask makers you trust, and find a knit night.

Knit nights, on the calendar.

Shop drop-ins, public spots, virtual calls and stitch-alongs — the get-togethers near you and the ones you can join from the sofa.

  • Four kinds of night: shop drop-ins, public spots, virtual calls and stitch-alongs
  • See who’s going and how many places are left
  • An optional reminder an hour before it starts
  • Hosting one takes a title, a place and a time

Ask, and get a real answer.

Put two skeins to a vote and let the makers who follow you weigh in — no mock-ups, no colour picker, just your actual yarn.

  • Poll options come from your real stash, not a colour picker
  • Followers vote and the split comes in live
  • Asks never expire — you close them when you’re ready
  • Closing an ask labels the winner and writes nothing else
The feed

Follow makers, not feeds.

The feed is in the order things were posted — nothing ranked, nothing boosted. You see the makers you follow, and that’s it.

Progress and finished objects

Post what’s on the needles and what came off them. The people who follow you see it, in the order you shared it.

Direct Messages

One-to-one messages only — no group threads. You decide who’s allowed to start one with you.

Grouped activity

Likes and follows arrive together, not one buzz at a time: “Mae and 2 others liked your Pebble Shawl.”

Stash colour strip

A strip of your stash colours can sit on your profile. It stays off until you switch it on.

Link-share and username search

Share a link to your profile or look someone up by username. YarnWiz never touches your contacts.

Find makers on YarnWiz

Browse the makers already here and follow the ones whose work you want to keep seeing.

Safety

You set the terms.

Per-post audience

Choose who sees each post as you write it — everyone, or just the people who follow you.

Private accounts

Make your account private and approve follow requests from a queue before anyone sees a thing.

Silent blocking

Block someone and they can’t see your posts, follow you or message you. They’re never told.

Silent declines

Turn down a follow request and the other person gets no notification that you did.

Every report read by a person

Reports don’t vanish into a filter — someone on the team reads each one by hand.

Hate speech, harassment, stolen patterns and spam get removed.
