Ravelry is where the patterns and the community live. YarnWiz is the app in your hands while you shop, scan, count and knit. Here is why many knitters keep both.
| Ravelry | YarnWiz | |
|---|---|---|
| Finding patterns | A huge online library of patterns, designers and projects | Searches Ravelry for you, then shows which patterns your stash can make |
| Your stash | An online list you fill in | Scan a label or barcode to add a yarn, with running yardage totals |
| In the yarn shop | Look things up on your phone | Scan a skein and see which of your patterns it fits |
| While you knit | Project pages and notes | Row counters, repeat guides, timers, a PDF reader and a Home Screen widget |
| Community | Forums, groups and years of project photos | A quiet feed with no ads, knit nights and knit-a-longs |
| Where you use it | On the Ravelry website | In an app on your iPhone, iPad or Android phone |
Discovering patterns, reading what other makers thought of them, joining forums and groups, and keeping your public project pages.
Knowing what is in your stash without typing it all in, matching yarn to patterns, planning a project, and keeping your place while you knit.
Connect your Ravelry account once and they stay in step.
A note on Ravelry: YarnWiz is an independent app and is not affiliated with Ravelry. We integrate with Ravelry, and the opinions on this site are our own, not Ravelry's.
You do not have to. If you only want a place to browse patterns and talk with other makers, Ravelry on its own does that well. If you want your stash scanned, organized and matched to patterns, with counters in your pocket, YarnWiz is built for that. Using both means you never retype anything.
YarnWiz is live now on the App Store and Google Play. Scan your first skein in minutes.
