Skeinwise
Knit & Crochet Project Tracker
Count rows with one big tap, keep your pattern PDF beside the counter, and know your yarn stash. No ads, no AI patterns, no account.
What Skeinwise does
Count without losing your place
- One big counter: tap anywhere on it to count a row or round
- Minus and Undo, so a stray tap never costs you a row
- Extra counters for stitches, sleeves or squares
- Repeat counters that run 1–8 and start over, keeping track of how many repeats you've done
- Row reminders: “start the decreases” at row 24, or “increase” every 6 rows
- Counts with Siri: “Add a row in Skeinwise”
Your pattern, right there
- Attach the pattern PDF and read it with the counter docked underneath
- Skeinwise remembers the page you were on
- Or save the link to an online pattern
Know your stash
- Yarn with brand, colorway, weight, fiber and dye lot
- Total yardage or meters worked out for you
- Hooks and needles in every size, with US and UK equivalents
Handy tools
