Maschenhub, the yarn substitution desk
A German yarn finder that compares possible replacements by yarn weight, fiber, yardage, and gauge.
Field notes
Maschenhub presents yarn substitution as a structured comparison: visitors start with a known yarn, then look for alternatives matching weight, fiber, yardage, and gauge. The homepage names products from brands including Katia, Scheepjes, Hobbii, and Lang Yarns, while the wider navigation adds a fiber atlas, yarn-weight and needle-size tables, and guidance on swatching. Its description claims coverage of more than 2,000 yarns, though the extract does not expose the result-ranking process.
