Stash Studio

Coming to iPhone & iPad

Your yarn stash on your phone, for knitting and crochet: what you own, how much is left, and what it can become.

Works entirely on your device — no account, no internet connection needed.

Know what's in the stash

A stash grows one skein at a time, and soon nobody remembers what is in the box in the attic. Stash Studio keeps every yarn, needle, hook and pattern in one place, knows how much of each yarn is left, and tells apart what is free from what is already promised to a project.

  • Every yarn

    Colour, dye lot, fibre, weight, care and a photo — and where it lives, down to the box it's in.

  • How much is left

    Add what you buy and what you use, and the amount adds itself up, in skeins and grams.

  • Swatches

    Keep the gauge you measured with each yarn, on needles or a hook.

  • What can I make?

    A yarn shows the patterns it is enough for, and a pattern shows the yarn in your stash that fits it.

  • Set yarn aside

    Reserve yarn for a pattern or a gift, so it isn't used for something else first.

  • Patterns

    Add the PDF, scan a paper pattern with the camera, or keep a link — and follow it from wishlist to finished.

  • Needles and hooks

    A size chart of everything you own, and a note when a pattern needs a size you don't have.

  • The whole stash

    An overview of what you own: the total weight and length, and your favourite brands, fibres, colours and shops.

  • A wishlist

    Yarn, tools and patterns you'd like to have, kept beside what you already own.

Made your way

Small settings that matter when you're actually knitting or crocheting.

  • Units

    Metric or imperial.

  • Needles and hooks

    Metric, US, or UK sizes.

  • Your currency

    Prices in your own currency, with purchases from abroad kept apart.

  • Languages

    English, German, Romanian, French.

Works with Sock Studio

One stash for both apps, if you want it.

With Sock Studio on the same phone, the two apps can share your yarn and the people you knit for: a yarn added in one shows up in the other. You decide, in Settings, and can stop sharing at any time. Stash Studio works just as well on its own.

Private by design

Nothing leaves your phone.

There is no account, no sign-up, and no backend. Your yarn, tools, patterns and prices are stored on your device only. No analytics, no advertising, no third-party tracking.
