Watch YarnWiz

Scan a yarn label

This short clip shows a yarn label being scanned, from the camera view to a finished stash entry.

What happens, step by step

1. Open YarnWiz and tap Scan. Point the camera at the yarn label.
2. YarnWiz reads the brand, weight, fiber content, yardage and dye lot, and fills in the entry.
3. Check the details, add a photo or a note if you like, and save. The yarn now appears in your stash, sorted with the rest and counted in your yardage totals.

Tips for a clean scan

• Use good light and hold the label flat.
• Fill most of the frame with the label text.
• If a label is wrapped around the skein, scan the side with the fiber content and yardage.
