About

Tricolab is the lab for your creations: a row counter built for busy hands, patterns that keep your place, and motifs you won't find anywhere else.

HANDS-FREE ROW COUNTER • One very big + button, right under your thumb • Say "next" or "back": the counter moves without you putting your needles down • The screen stays on while you work • Pattern repeats, row goal, undo, time spent

A PATTERN THAT NEVER LOSES YOUR PLACE • Import a PDF, photograph a paper pattern or paste its text • Your current line is highlighted and your position is saved • Abbreviations are explained in plain words, in English and French (k2tog, ssk, yo, sc, dc, m. end.…)

36 ORIGINAL PATTERNS IN 6 STYLES • Classic, Modern, Rustic, Emoticon, Crop circle and Clothing • Sweater, hooded cardigan, jacket, sleeveless vest, skirt and car seat cover • A drawing of the finished item and a measured schematic for every pattern • For hats, mitts, scarves and clothing: pick your size and the instructions recalculate • Pick your colours, or one of 4 matching palettes • A sew-on patch for an existing garment in every style • Every pattern in English and French

YOUR PIECE IN 3D AND AUGMENTED REALITY • Every pattern at real size, placed on your table or wall • Move it and turn it with your finger, your hand passes in front • While you knit, see the rows done and the rows left

MOTIF GENERATOR • 30 chart motifs: crop circles, fishing, construction, leaves, racing, knight and more • Choose the size, both colours and the technique (double knitting or tapestry crochet) • Row-by-row instructions are written automatically, and the counter follows them on the chart

THE LAB • Step-by-step techniques for knitting and crochet • Fibres, needles, hooks and notions explained • Chart examples and an abbreviation dictionary • Calculators: gauge, resizing, yarn quantity, needle sizes

SHARE AND STAY MOTIVATED • A finished-project card ready for your socials • A monthly challenge with its hashtag • Badges to unlock and share • Your year in review: rows, hours, yarn used, projects finished

YOUR PROJECTS, ORGANIZED • One page per creation: photos, pattern, yarn, notes, progress • Yarn stash • iPhone and iPad

FREE, WITH ONE OPTIONAL PURCHASE Tricolab is free: the hands-free counter, the pattern reader, the 5 launch patterns, 3 crop circle motifs, the 3D and augmented reality preview, the Lab, challenges and shareable cards are included. The one-time "Tricolab Complete" purchase unlocks the 31 other patterns and the 27 other motifs, with no subscription.

PRIVACY Your projects, photos and patterns stay on your device. No account, no ads, no trackers. Voice recognition runs on the device, and the augmented reality camera records nothing.
