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!

Must-have

When the print version of Stash-Bot first came out, I thought it was a brilliant idea, but that if I had the print version it would never be in my bag when I needed it. An app version is perfect. The design is clean, simple, and very intuitive to use. It’s also lovely to look at, which is a plus! I’m about to head to a fiber festival next weekend and you can be sure this will be utilized quite a few times while I’m there.

The *only* thing I would add/request is something about weight (of the yarn, in oz/grams). As a spinner, it would be awesome to plug in: I want to make a sweater, in my size, at 6 st/inch, and then get to choose from different yarn weights (in either familiar “yds/100g” increments or more accurate yards per pound (ypp)) and then have returned the weight of fiber I’d need to purchase, to spin at that grist and knit the specified item.

Great Addition to My Knitting Apps

Thank you so much for the Stashbot app. I work at a yarn store and I can estimate yardage but this app gives me the confidence to sell the correct amount for the intended project. With Stashbot I can show the customer what is needed and how it can vary from style, size, and gauge. The absolute best part is the ability to scroll and watch the visuals change instantly. I will definitely encourage all iOS users who knit to get this app and use it every time you shop for yarn for their project in a shop or in their stash. Home run, Hannah and hubby!!!

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.
