In project and in Yarn section have a spot to state how much you need of a color (project) and how much you have (yarn) of each yarn. When at the yarn shop and you know you have a yarn at home that would work for a new project but not sure you have enough of it to finish the project.

reported by solslett in the forums:

I just downloaded the app today and am really looking forward to using it quite a bit. I was disappointed to see that a key feature was not included - yardage.

Under yarn - the dyelot is only important when you are looking to acquire more yarn. When you are matching yarn to a pattern, yardage, weight and gauge are your key requirements. If the notes were visible from the category pages, this would solve the problem.

Under Patterns - again, if Notes were visible from the main page, it would be useful. However, as is the Yarn Category, yardage is very important, as are gauge and weight. Size would be the next item worth recording. Example: I have a Cable Sweater Pattern. Under the listings, I see the name of the pattern, the type of article and the source. Size, such as M-XL for a man's extra large sweater would be great. Knowing that the pattern calls for an aran weight with S X R gauge and 2400 yards would be ideal. But without at least yardage, it's not that helpful.

It would be great if the Yarn section had an input area for number of skeins/hanks in you stash as well as yardage and weight. I probably wouldn't purchase it without those improvements. But a useful app otherwise!

I believe it would be great if we would be able to add ounces and how many skeins or balls if a specific yarn wash in my stash as I pick up multiple skeins when they r on sale and it would be very helpful to know on the app so I do not need to sort through the plastic boxes I keep them in. Itwould save the serious knitter time
