Ravelry is a social networking web application for storing and sharing fiber art projects, yarn and tool inventories, etc.

Ravelry went live on May 2, 2007. By February 2008 over 80,000 members have signed up, and there remains an ongoing waiting list of over 5,000 members. As the site is still under development, users who sign up enter a queue and are admitted to the site at a rate of 800-1000 members per day.

Website features

 * Organizational tools for keeping track of yarn ('stash') and tools a user owns. Other users can then view/share this information.
 * Project planning capabilities to organize, plan, and share projects. Users can view/discuss each other's projects, search through other people's completed and in-progress projects, and build a queue of projects they would like to complete themselves.
