About Skeinote
Last updated 22 September 2026.
Placeholder text for presentation work. Operator wording and the support address are set before launch.
What the site does
Skeinote helps knitters and crocheters work out how many skeins of one yarn replace the skeins of another. It reads the figures the makers print on their own pages, shows the arithmetic, and stops when a figure is not published. It does not sell yarn and it does not recommend one yarn over another.
Who runs it
Operator wording to be confirmed before launch.
Where the figures come from
Every yarn record is copied by hand from the maker's own product page. Each record keeps the page link and the date it was read. When a page shows a value only as a symbol, the record says so rather than guessing.
What the calculator does not do
It does not say two yarns are interchangeable. It does not resolve gauge, fiber behaviour, or construction. It gives a yardage-equivalent skein count and the makers' facts, and it asks you to swatch.
