For makers, by makers
A platform built by crafters, for crafters, to spark creativity.
Our story
The idea for Yarnize started in 2023, but it really goes back to our shared love of yarn and crafting. We're two tech professionals and craft enthusiasts with years of experience in both platform development and crafting techniques. Like many of you, we found ourselves spending way too much time trying to figure out yarn substitutions, hunting for better options, or wondering if the yarn we chose would even work for our latest project.
So, we decided to combine our tech know-how with our passion for knitting and crocheting to build Yarnize — a platform that takes the hassle out of finding yarn and substitutions. We wanted to create something that felt intuitive and useful for all crafters, whether you're on the hunt for a specific yarn or just looking to explore new possibilities.
Inspiring Your Yarn Journey
Today, Yarnize is more than just a tool — it's our way of giving back to the crafting community we love so much.
We hope it helps you save time, discover new yarns, and maybe even feel a little more inspired to try something new in your next project.
We're constantly working to make it better, and we're excited to have you along on this journey with us!
Our mission
At Yarnize, we're all about making the yarn journey a little easier and a lot more fun! Our mission is to help fiber artists — whether you're just getting started or a seasoned pro — find the perfect yarn and feel confident about it. From comparing yarn options to discovering the best substitutes, we're here to make sure you spend less time searching and more time creating. With easy-to-use tools and a growing yarn database, we aim to take the guesswork out of your crafting experience, one project at a time.
