Color Keeper – Lazy Swatch Tool, WPI Gauge & Swatch Tool

Take the guesswork out of color planning with the Wild Stitchers Color Keeper—a versatile fiber arts tool that does far more than simply hold yarn.

Also known as a Lazy Swatch Tool, the Color Keeper makes it easy to wrap yarns side by side so you can compare colors, gradients, and combinations before starting your next project. Whether you're planning a shawl, sweater, blanket, woven band, or spinning project, you'll be able to see exactly how your yarns work together.

The Color Keeper is also a practical Wraps Per Inch (WPI) gauge for estimating yarn weight and can be used as a compact swatch tool to help organize and evaluate color choices.

Available in your choice of laser-cut wood or durable 3D printed PLA, this lightweight tool easily slips into your project bag so it's always ready when inspiration strikes.

Whether you're knitting, crocheting, weaving, spinning, or designing your next masterpiece, the Color Keeper is a simple tool you'll reach for again and again.
