Ribblr: a world of crafting, right from your pocket

Our story

In over 15 years of crafting and designing patterns, our co-founder Lir has faced many challenges: from not being able to keep track of her progress to time-consuming design tasks. After speaking to fellow crafters and designers, it became clear that while the crafting community was growing, the industry hasn’t evolved in decades. It was time for a big change. Together with her co-founders, Saar and Avi, she set out to revolutionize the crafting world and use technology to empower crafters. In 2019, Ribblr came to life.

Our goals

We believe crafters deserve better. So we set out a clear mission: make crafting accessible and empower crafters through innovation.
We are working hard toward three main goals:

Create the best crafting experience

Build a home for all crafters

Innovate and modernize the crafting industry

Introducing: Ribblr ePattern

Similar to an eBook, Ribblr ePattern is a digital version of your knitting, crochet and sewing patterns packed with unique features to provide the best crafting experience. A single, user-friendly format for all patterns that lets you easily track your progress so you can pick up where you left off. Use the smart sizing feature to view only your size and craft in your preferred language using the built-in automatic pattern translation. Create on the go using the Ribblr app - your progress is saved and synced automatically. This makes Ribblr ePattern truly eco-friendly: every 36 crafters who use it save one whole tree and about 200kWh of energy per year. And there’s more: tips and video tutorials. Doodle mode. Interactive charts. Inches-cm converter. A built-in counter. Accessibility tools.

Built for designers

Ribblr was born to empower designers. We save you time by taking care of things for you. This way, you can focus on what you love most – designing unique new patterns. Introducing Ribbuild, a streamlined pattern editor. Built by designers and for designers, the idea is simple: you add the instructions and Ribbuild does the rest. Write in your native language and preferred measuring units. Ribbuild will automatically convert units and translate your patterns to other languages, starting with English (US and UK). Ribbuild will scan your patterns to generate an abbreviations list and apply built-in tips and stitch video tutorials. Ribbuild's smart sizing feature will automatically color each size and let crafters choose to view only their size. You can also design interactive charts directly in Ribbuild and crafters will be able to customize them by selecting different colors. How cool is that?

Designed with accessibility in mind

We believe crafting should be accessible for everyone, which is why Ribblr is designed to be user-friendly. We have invested, and will continue to invest, in developing accessibility tools to help you craft and use Ribblr. Ribblr is truly responsive and is available on any device, with free iOS and Android apps available. On your accessibility menu, you will find dark mode, a reduced motion setting, and left-hand mode. Ribblr ePattern's unified design makes crafting easier thanks to accessibility tools such as smart sizing, language translation, font and image zoom, and more. And to help make patterns even more accessible, designers can add built-in photos, videos and even audio instructions to their patterns on Ribblr. We always want to hear your suggestions on how we can improve.
