Description

What people are saying: "StashBot is that perfect combination of grace, functionality, and ease-of-use. Behind the pretty face, though, an intelligent engine delivers numbers you can trust. Unless you're a math genius with all the charts in your mind, this is the best $5 you'll ever spend on a knitting app." - Clara Parkes, Knitter's Review "StashBot is as pretty as it is clever." - Meghan Fernandes, Pom Pom Quarterly "Yardage requirements never looked so good." - Amy Herzog, CustomFit Buy yarn....smarter. StashBot is your yarn shopping companion! When you find a yarn you can't live without, use StashBot to figure out how much to buy. StashBot will pay for itself again and again as it saves you from buying more yarn than you need you need. At the same time, it ensures you will purchase enough yarn to knit the sort of projects you like. StashBot includes yarn requirements averages for gauges 3 - 8 sts per inch / 2.5 cm. Categories include: - Vests, shrugs and sweaters (cropped, average and tunic length) in size 3 months - 62" / 157cm bust circumference. - Hats, socks, and mittens in sizes Baby, Toddler, Child, Adult & XL Adult. - Scarves, shawls, and infinity cowls in 3 typical dimensions. All yarn requirements are presented in both YARDS and METERS, and you can easily switch back and forth between imperial and metric measurements. YARN SHOPS: This is a great tool for you shop as it encourages knitters to purchase sweater quantities of yarn!

    Being a yarn addict, I’m always looking at a new skien or ball somewhere and wondering how much I’d need to make a (fill in the blank). This little app is my constant companion for a quick calc on that. Great for a general—and in my experience—pretty accurate guesstimate of yardage needed. Love it!
  • Useful!

    Simple but very useful. Especially on the go

    Even a rough idea is great for relative beginners like me—
  • Not useful

    I did not find this useful, the suggested yardage does not take into account the weight of the yarn, no good
  • Indispensable calculator

    As a knitter who buys yarn without a specific pattern in mind this app allows me to know how much yarn at a specific gauge I will need to complete the project. It saves buying too much yarn and having yarn left over that can’t be returned and also saves on playing yarn chicken. Highly recommended. And it works on a phone so it’s always available.

  • Can the stitches go lower than 3?

    Great app but can the stitches be added to go lower than 3
  • Good Idea Poor Execution

    The idea to calculate the number of yards (and thus skeins) needed to do a project is great. The problem is this app is too limiting: • You can only select 3-8 stitches/inch • There’s no feature to enter the yarn weight (ex: 8oz yarn is significantly thicker than 2 oz yarn) • The calculation doesn’t determine number of skeins, only yardage. If there was a way to enter how many yards are on the skein of choice, the feature would be complete. • The calculation of yardage is incorrect. When I finally got a comparative pattern, the app was significantly higher: ———————— Manufacturer: ———————— 60”x70” Blanket — 13 skeins — 8oz weight yarn — 1 stitch/inch — 28 yards per skein — 364 total yards ———————— StashBot ———————— 60”x72” Blanket — Feature not available — Feature not available — Feature too limited (used 3 stitches/inch) — Feature not available — 2060 total yards (divided by 3 to determine 1 = 687 yards) So Greta idea, but poorly executed. And too not have a free trial to figure out this app didn’t do what I needed was just money flushed.
  • Indispensible!

    Stashbot is absolutely indispensible when shopping for yarn. I refer to it constantly when I find a special yarn or great deal and have a general idea what I’d like to make, but no specific pattern. After all, then you have the flexibility to find the right pattern AFTER you swatch!
  • STASHBOT ROCKS!

    II usually knit my sweaters and socks without a pattern with the help of the book, “Knitting 101” for general size and measurent info. My sweaters are usually raglans or circular yoke so once you understand the formula with these types of sweaters (and that goes for socks, too) I find a pattern is not necessary unless the pattern I am knitting has a color work chart I want to use. I use this app as a jumping off point when I need to know how much yarn I will need. Very helpful indeed. Many thanks, STASHBOT, for developing this app! ❤️🧶❤️
