Is YarnSpace free?
Yes. YarnSpace is free to download and you can use it for up to three projects at a time, with all counters, your yarn stash, patterns and most tools. YarnSpace Pro, monthly or yearly with a one-week free trial, unlocks unlimited projects, the Apple Watch app, all yarn substitutes, label scanning and more.
Does YarnSpace work for both knitting and crochet?
Yes. Counters, patterns, the yarn stash and the calculators work for knitting and crochet alike, and the reference includes knitting needle and crochet hook sizes as well as US/UK crochet terms.
Do I need a Ravelry account?
No. You can discover and search Ravelry patterns and yarns without an account. YarnSpace is not made by, affiliated with or endorsed by Ravelry.
Which devices does YarnSpace run on?
iPhone and iPad with iOS 26 or later, Mac with macOS 26 or later and Apple Watch with watchOS 26 or later. Your projects sync through your own iCloud.
What happens to my data?
YarnSpace needs no account, shows no ads and doesn't track you; only anonymous usage statistics, which you can turn off. Your projects, patterns, yarn stash and photos stay on your device and, if you turn it on, in your own iCloud. Details are in the privacy policy.
How does the yarn label scan work?
Point your camera at a yarn label. YarnSpace reads brand, yarn name, color number, fibers, yardage, gauge and needle size entirely on your device and fills in the yarn for you.
