I created the Yarn Matchmaker with my husband, Brett (he did most of the work 😄), because I was tired of spending hours comparing yarn labels and scrolling through websites trying to find the perfect yarn for my project. I wanted a yarn finder/substitution app that could quickly help me find good substitutes, compare fibres and colours, and narrow things down without the overwhelm. After lots of tweaking and trial and error, we finally created something that actually made yarn shopping easier and more fun. And once I started using it myself, I knew I wanted to share it with you too!
So, whether you’re trying to substitute a discontinued yarn, find a more affordable alternative, match a specific fibre content, or just browse beautiful yarns in your favourite colours, this tool will make the process much easier.

Enter the name of a yarn you’d like to replace, and the tool will suggest similar options along with a compatibility score so you can quickly see how close of a match they are.
You can also search by yarn fibre content and filter the results based on color, brand, relative price, and more!
Results can be sorted by best match, lowest price, highest price, or alphabetically.
