Yarnova holds the whole of your crochet life in one place: the row you stopped on, the yarn in the basket behind the sofa, and the three projects you swear you will finish this month.
Free to download · Your projects stay on your phone
Sound familiar?
None of this means you are disorganized. It means you make things, and making things spreads out. Yarnova gathers it back up.
Someone asks a question, the kettle boils, and the number you were holding in your head is gone. You count the rows back one at a time, squinting at stitches that all look the same, and hope you land on the right one.
Tap once per row. Yarnova remembers, even after you close it.You bought it on holiday. It is somewhere in the basket behind the sofa, and you need one more skein to finish the sleeve. The band came off months ago.
Photograph each yarn once. Brand, fiber and count stay with it.The cardigan is on a 4mm, the blanket needs the 6mm you cannot find, and the little owl has been waiting since spring. Picking one back up means remembering how it was set up.
Each project keeps its own hook, yarn, steps and progress.Some are screenshots, some are in a browser tab you are afraid to close, and one is on a piece of paper folded into the project bag.
Keep the ones you are actually making in one library.Row counter
Tap the counter as you work. Yarnova keeps the number safe when you put the phone down, close the app, or leave the project for a fortnight.
Yarn stash
Photograph a yarn once and it stays recognizable forever: the colorway you loved, the brand you forgot, and how much of it is actually left.
Project tracking
Bigger makes get broken into parts, such as the sole, the upper and the assembly, so a half-finished project reads as a set of steps rather than a mystery.
Tool kit
Everything that usually lives in a browser tab, a bookmark or the back of a notebook, gathered into the app you already have open.
Tap to track rows without opening a whole project.
Pattern shorthand explained, from sc to bpdc.
Plan how granny squares and blocks fit together.
Check a hook size when the marking has worn off.
Work out a fair price when someone asks to buy one.
Try yarn combinations before you cut into the skein.
Convert between the units a pattern uses and the ones you think in.
Pattern library
Every pattern shows its skill level, category and a realistic time estimate, so you can choose something that fits the evening in front of you. Find one you like and add it straight to My Studio.

Yes. Yarnova is free to download from the App Store, and you can track projects, count rows and organize your yarn stash without paying anything.
Your counts are saved as you tap, so closing the app or locking your phone never loses your place. Open Yarnova again and every counter is exactly where you left it. There is more detail on the row counter page.
Yes. The stash tracks needles alongside hooks and yarn, the counters work for rows or rounds in either craft, and the gauge tool covers both hook and needle sizes.
Your projects, counters and stash live on your device, so counting rows and checking your stash works anywhere, including on a plane, in a car, or in the corner of a café with bad signal.
Yarn with its brand, fiber and how many skeins you own, plus your crochet hooks and knitting needles. Each entry can carry a photo, so you recognize a colorway at a glance instead of by name. See the yarn stash guide.
Bring your projects, your stash and your row counts together, and spend the evening making instead of looking for things.
