LoopGauge Yarn Studio

Your gauge never matches the pattern. LoopGauge Yarn Studio turns that into a solved math problem. Everything runs on one signature control: the Gauge Dial. Set stitches and rows per 10 cm (or 4 in) and your blocking state, and every dependent number updates live — cast-on count for a target width, rows to the armhole, ease delta, skein count. Tap any result to open the formula breakdown; every input stays editable, so you can see exactly where a number came from. Built for the full loop: swatch → gauge → resize → estimate yarn → knit with a counter → export a project sheet. Each screen answers one decision instead of dumping a pattern library on you. GAUGE DIAL A rotary control for stitches and rows per 10 cm or 4 in, plus blocking state. Cast-on count, rows-to-length, ease delta and skein count recompute live, with a tap-to-expand formula breakdown where every input stays editable. PATTERN RESIZER Enter a pattern's stated gauge and your target measurement and get a rewritten work sheet — cast-on, increase and decrease counts, row splits, remaining sleeve length — shown side by side with the original numbers. YARN SUBSTITUTION SOLVER Rank possible substitutes for a discontinued yarn by weight class, meters-per-100 g ratio and fiber behavior, from your own stash and a seeded yarn library, with the exact skein count for the current project. PROJECT WORKSPACE Per-project materials and needle or hook lists, target measurements, ease budget, section checklist, progress ring, swatch links and free-form notes. ROW & ROUND COUNTER Full-screen tap-anywhere counting with named sections, increment and decrement, milestone markers, per-section reset, undo history and an optional keep-screen-awake mode. SWATCH ARCHIVE Record pre-blocked and post-blocked gauge, needle size, washing and blocking method and your personal tension drift, with photos. Over time the Dial can suggest the needle that actually hits pattern gauge. SIZE CHART LIBRARY Editable seeded charts for baby, child, women's, men's, sock and home textiles (blanket, cushion) in cm and inches, plus fully custom measurement sets. YARDAGE ESTIMATOR Predict total yarn needed from garment type, size and your gauge, with a confidence range — so the right number of skeins is in the bag before you cast on. TIMERS & PACING Per-section timers, an optional stitches-per-minute pace view and gentle break reminders for long charity-knit sessions. PROJECT SHEET EXPORT & LOCAL BACKUP Export a print-ready PDF work sheet with materials, gauge math, counter state and notes, plus JSON export and import for local backup and moving to a new device. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No login. No ads. No analytics. No cloud. Your projects live on your device, and the in-app Privacy Policy and Terms of Service are reachable from Settings and from first launch. A first-run wizard gets your first project going in under a minute. Pattern templates are optional starter content, never a dependency. Whether you are a hobby knitter, yarn-shop staff helping a customer substitute a discontinued yarn, part of a sock-knitting group, or a returning crafter tired of finishing something that does not fit, LoopGauge keeps the numbers honest and the math visible.
