Introducing Craft Stash Manager: The Notion Database for Knitters and Crocheters
What is Craft Stash Manager?
Craft Stash Manager is a Notion template designed specifically for the needs of knitters and crocheters. It tracks yarn, needles, hooks, patterns, and works‑in‑progress, all searchable in one place. Stay organized, find the right yarn fast, and manage projects effortlessly.
One of the standout features of Craft Stash Manager is its ability to catalogue and manage your yarn stash. You can easily input details such as yarn type, colour, length, and even the supplier, giving you a comprehensive overview of your stash. This organisation allows you to quickly reference what is available before casting on on your next WiP.
Additionally, Craft Stash Manager helps you track your needles and hooks in a handy inventory. You will always know which tools are in which WiP, or at least should be... You never know, it might even help you avoid unnecessary purchases!
Craft Stash Manager includes a pattern library which helps you organise your favourite knitting and crochet patterns. One place to log where they are, simplifying the process of finding inspiration, avoiding double-purchases, matching patterns to your yarn stash, and casting on a new WiP quickly!
You can also keep track of all your work-in-progress (WIPs) in Craft Stash Manager, ensuring you never lose track, no matter how long a WiP lingers down the back of the sofa.
Craft Stash Manager is an indispensable asset for anyone passionate about knitting and crocheting.

Who Needs Craft Stash Manager?
If you recognise any of these:
not knowing what yarn is in your stash (without pulling out a load of boxes/bags etc)
repeat buying needles as you don't know what you have
constantly searching for that pattern you have or wanted to buy, but can't remember where it's stored or where you saw it for sale
lost track of your WiPs, found them but can't remember what stage you were at, can't remember what needles you used when you swatched
Then you need Craft Stash Manager in your life! You are likely to have extensive stashes of yarn, tools, patterns, and WiPs, necessitating a solution that allows you to manage your resources effectively and easily.
Features of Craft Stash Manager
Craft Stash Manager has 4 main databases, plus a space to record all those who help facilitate your stash, such as designers, yarn dyers, manufacturers, and retail stores.
Yarn
The yarn stash database records all sorts of things about your stash. There is a section to record the yarn, as it is offered for sale, then a section to record what is in your stash. You can record:
manufacturer/retailer/dyer
colour
shade
dye-lot
thickness (weight)
composition
weight per ball
length per ball
cost per ball (!)
laundry details
And more...
Then tell Craft Stash Manager what's in your stash
how many balls do you have
if you have part balls, how much to they weigh
And Craft Stash Manager will do some calculations and work out how much yarn you have (weight and length). It'll display it on your dashboard too!
Patterns
The flexible pattern library allows you to save and organise patterns that works for you, including adding personal notes and linking directly to it, whether that be on Ravelry, your PC, or a note of which magazine or book it can be found in.
And you can sort them on your dashboard by
next cast on
wish list
yarn thickness (weight)
craft type (knit, crochet)
season
clothing type
And more...
Needles & hooks
Finally, an inventory for your needles and hooks. Log your entire collection, including where you bought them and the WiPs they are currently being used in. A place for each and every fixed circular, crochet hook, interchangeable tips and cord, DPNs, and straights.
You can sort by type, length, material and more on your dashboard.
WiPs
The WiPs database of Craft Stash Manager is surely the one we all need. You can create, track, seach and manage all your WiPs in one centralized location. Link a WiP to the yarn database, the needles and hooks database and also the pattern database (if required), and you'll have a one-stop-shop to record all the details you need about your WiPs. The main page allows you to keep notes and keep track as you work. If you need to put that WiP down, in time-out, or whatever, you will always know where you got to when you pick it up again.
Oh, and if that wasn't enough, when you add yarn and needles or hooks to a WiP page, Craft Stash Manager deducts the number available for use from the respective database. Handy!
