Tower Rush

Tower Rush is a simple tool that lets you see which yarns in your bin fit a pattern’s gauge. You set the pattern gauge, for example 20 stitches per 10 cm, and every yarn appears with its weight on the Craft Yarn Council scale. The app shows the gauge range, common names and needle sizes for each yarn, so you can instantly tell if a medium yarn will work with your needles. The app calculates the amount of yarn you need from the pattern. If a design requires 1 150 m plus a 10 % safety margin, you get a total of 1 265 m. By entering the length of each skein, the app tells you how many are required and how many remain free. It also accounts for skeins already pledged to other projects, giving you a clear answer to whether you have enough yarn. Each yarn is displayed as a stockinette swatch at its own gauge. A chunky yarn will look different from a sock yarn even though they use the same needles, and this visual aid helps you decide which yarn will look best on your project. The app uses the gauge range to label each yarn as worsted, afghan, aran, fine, or light as appropriate. When you choose a yarn, the selected skeins are reserved for that pattern. The Stash view shows how many skeins are left for each yarn and which projects they belong to. When a garment is finished and removed from the needles, you can mark it as complete and the skeins automatically leave the count. All content is included in the app and works completely offline. With Tower Rush, your favorites, notes, progress, and personal data are stored only on your device, with no registration, accounts, or cloud synchronization required.
