MATCH YARN COLOURS IN SECONDS
Simply take a photo or choose an image, pick a colour from it, and we'll show you the five yarn products that best match that colour!
YARN COLOUR-MATCHING, MADE EASY
We make it easy to match yarn with everyday colours. Ever wanted to find a close colour match to the setting sun? The cape of your favourite superhero? Or colour-match yarn that’s no longer available? Now you can! Simply choose an image or take a photo in our app, use the colour picker, and we’ll show you the five closest colour matches we’ve managed to find.
WE CHECK 5,500+ YARN PRODUCTS
We’ve manually sampled over 5,500 different yarns, from 15 leading brands, including Scheepjes, Stylecraft, Red Heart, Lion Brand Yarn, Bernat, Caron, DMC, James C Brett, Paintbox Yarns, Sirdar, Toft, King Cole and more to bring you the best possible matches. What’s more, you can filter your results by brand, product line, yarn weight, fibre content, and needle size – helping you to find the right yarn for your project. Alternatively, browse our extensive catalogue, and manually review potential matches.
SAVE YOUR FAVOURITES
Picking colours from images? Name them, and save them in your app, so you can come back to them again later. Found the perfect match? Use our ‘Wishlist’ button, and add the yarn to your Wishlist, so you can find it easily later on. We’ll even date-stamp it, so you can remember when you added it to your list.

We’ve catalogued over 5,500 yarn products… and we’re not stopping there!

Nice idea - but app is not mature enough to be helpful yet
Madmaxwilde
This app sounds like a great idea - and I’m sure it will be once it has more yarn options in it.Currently it appears to be limited to mostly the big name yarn companies and therefore isn’t very useful for searching like for like types/colours of yarn.Also, the images associated with all the yarns shown are too simplistic. For example, if you look at the west Yorkshire spinners Aran you only see block colours in the images but in reality the yarn is specked and has multiple colours in it - so it’s no use for helping to find as close to an exact yarn match as possible.It’s ok if you want to look up the main colour in a yarn for considering colour palettes but the serves no use at being able to look up matching/similar yarns at this moment in time.
