Version 7: Accounts, My Library & a New Look
November 1, 2026
Hello! This is Thomas, the developer of temperature-blanket.com. Version 7 is a big update. Here's the short version:
- New: optional accounts, so your projects and palettes are on every device; My Library; posting projects to Ravelry; gallery pages you can update; and stars.
- Changed: a simpler site menu, new ways to edit colors and ranges, projects that save by themselves, and gallery projects that keep their weather.
- Removed or fixed: publishing to the gallery now needs an account, and a bug with overlapping ranges is fixed, which may change some previews.
What's New
Accounts
Sign in with Google from the person icon in the top right. Your projects, palettes and preferences are then on any device you sign in on. Accounts are optional (see Saving below for the difference).
My Library
Everything you've saved, projects and palettes, in one place near the top of the site menu, with or without an account. Find it at My Library.
Post to Ravelry
Connect your Ravelry account on your Account page, then choose Also post to Ravelry when you publish a project or edit its gallery page. Your project is added to your Ravelry projects with its preview, its yarns and a link back to its gallery page. You can add photos of your project, in progress or finished, here or on Ravelry, and they show on its gallery page too. Palettes can't be posted to Ravelry (yet).
Gallery pages you can update
If you choose to publish a project or palette, it gets one gallery page. When you make changes, choose Edit Gallery Page to update it, with the same link and the same views.
Stars
Star other people's projects and palettes to find them again under Starred in My Library. Only you see your stars.
What's Changed
A simpler site menu
The site menu is now grouped into Create (a new project or palette), My Library, and Explore (the Gallery, Yarn Colorways and Weather Forecast). Projects and yarn palettes now work the same way: each has its own tool, a matching menu (Project or Palette), and the same ways to share and download.
Editing colors and ranges
Ranges are now edited right in the gauge. Tap a range's number, change it and press Save, and the next range follows along. The Configure Ranges dialog is replaced by a Ranges menu (it reads Auto, Manual or Edited), where you can choose auto ranges (Equal size or Equal days), set Manual steps, flip the direction, or choose which ends each range includes. All the ways to get or import colors are now under Get Colors.
Saving
Save a project once with Save in the top bar, and after that your changes save by themselves.
- Without an account, projects and palettes are saved in this browser only, as before. Copy a project's link to keep a backup or to open it somewhere else.
- With an account, they're also saved to your account, so they're on every device you sign in on. You can also publish to the gallery, star pages and post to Ravelry.
Gallery projects keep their weather
Opening a project from the gallery now loads the weather it had when it was published, so you see the project as its maker did, even if the weather source has since changed its numbers. This works for pages published or updated since January 2026, but not for projects still in progress (like one for this year), which search for weather as usual. Projects with weather you typed in or imported always open as published, since that weather can't be searched again. You can always get the latest weather by searching again, and if it's your page, Edit Gallery Page saves the new weather to it.
And many smaller changes
Including:
- a Preferences page with theme previews and a default yarn
- a redesigned PDF
- adding a color before or after another
- dialogs that open from the bottom of the screen on phones

What's Removed or Fixed
Publishing to the gallery needs an account
Before, anyone could send a project to the gallery. Now you'll need to sign in, so each page has an owner who can update it, hide it or take it down. Pages already in the gallery stay there.
Overlapping ranges, fixed
In earlier versions, if you typed in ranges that overlap, a day that fit two ranges took the color of the last one, instead of the first (highest), as the documentation says. That bug is fixed, so if your ranges overlap, some days in your preview may change color. Most projects aren't affected. More in the documentation.
Version 6, if you need it
If something doesn't work for you, Version 6 is still at archive-v6.temperature-blanket.com. To open a project there, add archive-v6. before temperature-blanket.com in its link. Projects saved only in your browser don't show up there, so copy the project's link first.
Your Privacy
Your data is never sold or used for ads. You can download everything or delete your account at any time from your Account page. Gallery pages are public. The Privacy Policy has the details.
