Since launching in April 2025, YarnPixel has been helping knitters, crocheters and crafters around the world find yarn colours that match the inspiration they see around them.
Today, YarnPixel is available across more than 50 Apple App Store regions, localised into 15 languages, and used by thousands of crafters – and we’re incredibly proud to share that YarnPixel now has a global Apple App Store rating of 4.2 stars.
A Simple Yarn Colour Matching App
The idea behind YarnPixel is deliberately simple. See a colour you love? Take a photo or choose an image from your library, select a colour from it, and YarnPixel will search through thousands of yarn products to find some of the closest yarn colour matches. That’s it.
Whether you’re planning a new knitting project, choosing colours for your next crochet pattern, trying to recreate a colour palette from a photograph, or simply looking for the perfect shade of yarn, YarnPixel makes finding matching yarn colours quick and easy.
And that simplicity is something we want to keep.
Built for Knitters, Crocheters and Yarn Lovers
Finding the right yarn colour online isn’t always straightforward. Names such as Rose, Sage, Ocean or Mustard can mean completely different things depending on the yarn brand. YarnPixel takes a more visual approach, helping you search for yarn based on the colour you can actually see.
Our yarn matching tool compares your selected colour against thousands of yarn products, helping you discover potential matches without manually searching through dozens of yarn websites and colour charts.
It can be useful for:
- Finding yarn colours inspired by a photograph or image
- Creating colour palettes from images for knitting and crochet projects
- Searching for similar shades across different yarn brands
- Finding yarn for garments, blankets and accessories
- Matching yarn to artwork, interiors, nature, clothing or anything else that inspires you
Rated 4.2 Stars on the Apple App Store
Achieving a 4.2-star global rating on the Apple App Store means a huge amount to us. YarnPixel is still a relatively young app, and every rating, review and piece of feedback helps us understand what crafters enjoy and where we can make the experience even better.
Our goal has never been to make yarn selection complicated. We want YarnPixel to be the app you open when you find a colour and think: “I wonder if I can find yarn like that?”… Pick the colour. Get a match. Start creating!
