YarnHub

Accessibility

Colour vision

Changes the accent colour so links and buttons stay easy to pick out.

Motion

Your device setting is already respected. This turns it off here too.

Know exactly what yarn you have

Track your stash, your projects, and what is genuinely left of every ball.

What YarnHub does

Enough to run a stash and finish a project, without the clutter of things you would never open twice.

Your stash

A stash is only useful if it tells you the truth. YarnHub records what you bought, what you have used, and what is genuinely left, so you can tell at a glance whether that half ball will finish the sleeve.

More about the stash

Global catalogue

A shared database of yarns across many brands, so you rarely type anything twice.

Projects and patterns

Pattern PDFs you can mark up, and a row counter that remembers where you were.

Regional conversion

Yarn weights and tool sizes translated between the US, UK and Australian systems.

Works offline

Your stash and projects are cached on the device, because yarn shops have bad signal.

See every feature

The same yarn has three names

The same yarn is worsted in the United States, aran in Britain, and 10-ply in Australia. Needle sizing is worse still. UK sizes count downward, so UK 8 and US 6 are the same 4mm needle.

Set your region once and the whole app follows. Nothing is re-entered, and nothing is converted destructively.

Equivalents are approximate, because manufacturers vary. Swatch for gauge.

Built to work for everyone

Crafting is for everybody, and so is the app. Accessibility is part of how YarnHub is built rather than something bolted on at the end.

Readable by default
Generous text sizes and colour contrast that meets WCAG AA, in both light and dark. No squinting at 11px grey on grey.
Works how you work
Full keyboard and screen reader support, generous tap targets, and respect for your system settings for text size and motion.
Colour is never the only clue
Anything shown with colour is also shown with a label or a shape, so nothing depends on telling two hues apart.
Steady on a moving train
Motion is used to explain what changed, never for decoration, and it stops entirely when you ask your device to reduce it.

Shaped by the people who use it

Nearly everything here started as somebody describing a small, specific annoyance. Dye lots got their own field because losing track of one ruins a jumper. The row counter lives inside the project because a shared counter gets reset by accident.

If something about YarnHub does not fit how you work, that is worth telling us. It is how the useful parts got built.
