We sweat the small stitches so you don’t have to.
Paste in a pattern, tell Pearl your swatch, and she works out every stitch and row so it comes out your size — at your tension, in your yarn. No frogging. No notebook full of sums.
Built by a designer for a knitter who hated the math.
Knit or crochet a small swatch and pop in the stitches and rows you get over 10 cm. That's all she needs to start — metric or imperial, your call.
Paste the pattern in and Pearl reads it for you, filling in the numbers herself. You just glance over and check she's got them right.
She re-knits every count to your tension — cast-on, rows, shaping and all — and shows you exactly what changed. Then the needles are yours.
Regauging is the heart of Slowspun, and it stays free for good. Pro opens the rest of Pearl's workshop.
Paste a knitting or crochet pattern, add your swatch, and Pearl re-knits every count to your gauge — cast-on, rows, shaping and all. As many as you like, for nothing.
Cast-on from a width, even increases and decreases, length-to-rows, needle conversions and yarn amounts — the in-between sums, done for you.
Save your measurements and Pearl sizes a pattern to your body, with your ease worked in.
Keep your go-to gauges, needles and yarns, and pour a saved setup straight into a new project.
A row reader that holds your place and your counts, and a tidy home for every pattern you save.
No subscription, ever. Pro is a one-time unlock — pay once, it's yours.
Slowspun is a small, unhurried app made by a solo designer and a very relaxed sloth named Pearl. It began with a frustration every maker knows: the math. Knitting, crochet, any yarnwork — every pattern is written for someone else’s gauge, and fixing that by hand means a notebook full of arithmetic and the occasional ruined sweater.
So Pearl took over the sums. You bring the yarn and the patience; she’ll keep the numbers straight, at her own gentle pace.
I'm not one to rush, and I don't think your knitting should rush you either. Hand me a pattern and your swatch, and I'll quietly redo the arithmetic — the cast-on, the rows, the little adjustments — so a column of numbers is never the reason a project goes back in the basket.
The knitter who made me got tired of doing all this by hand. So now I do it: slowly, carefully, one stitch at a time.
Come knit at your own pace. I'll keep the counts.— Pearl
