For knitters & crocheters

SABLE is still an asset. Count it.

Your stash lives in skeins, grams, and yardage — with dye lots that matter and labor that dwarfs the materials in every FO you sell. The hard truth of selling knitwear is that the yarn was never the expensive part. MadeKeeper puts a number on both halves so you stop selling hats at frogging-it-would-be-cheaper prices.

The app is live. Free during the pilot. Founding rate $19/mo, locked for life.

No card to start. Use it free through the pilot, and lock the $19/mo founding rate for as long as you stay.

How MadeKeeper maps to your stash

Skeins in grams and yardageLog yarn the way the label reads — 100 g, 220 yds, this colorway, this dye lot. A finished piece pulls down the grams it used, and the leftover partial skein stays counted.
Dye lots stay separateTwo bags of the same colorway from different lots are different materials, because you know exactly what happens when they aren't. MadeKeeper keeps them apart so a sweater quantity stays a sweater quantity.
The labor number, in your faceMaterials are $8; the hat took four hours. Every sale shows profit per hour, so the market-table price starts from what your hands are worth — not from what the yarn cost.
Booth, Etsy, commission, and the gallery shelfCraft fair sales, Etsy orders, custom commissions, and consignment pieces in a shop all land in one ledger, each channel's fees counted where they bite.

One hat, honestly

Say you knit a worsted beanie:

  • 95 g of a 100 g skein @ $8.75$8.31
  • Woven label and tag$0.35
Materials in the hat$8.66

Sell it at $45 and the four hours of knitting paid $9.09 an hour. That's the number that decides your prices next season — and MadeKeeper puts it on every sale, not just the ones you do the math on.

Straight about what's live

Materials and true cost per piece, products (in bulk or one-of-a-kind), sales that drain stock, the was-this-fair-worth-it event math, mileage, expenses, and the year-end tax packet — all in the app today. Etsy and Square sync, your own storefront, a booth card reader, and shipping labels are building, shaped with founding makers. Nothing above describes a feature that doesn't exist without saying so.

Questions knitters and crocheters ask

Can I track partial skeins?

Yes. Yarn logs in grams, so when a hat takes 95 g of a 100 g skein, the 5 g remainder stays on the books. Your stash total is the real total, scrap balls included.

How does MadeKeeper handle my labor?

You set the hours into a piece and every sale reports profit per hour after materials and fees. It won't lecture you about underpricing — it just shows you the number, and the number does the talking.

What about test knits and gift pieces?

Pieces that leave without a sale can be logged at zero revenue so the materials draw down honestly. Your stash count stays true even when the FO was a baby gift.
