| Know before using | The record does not prescribe a universal sample sequence, count, turnaround, statistical plan, fit protocol, test, pass value, production release, or contract consequence, and it does not replace qualified technical, fit, quality, testing, statistical, responsible-sourcing, compliance, and legal review. | A suggested match is a data-based shortlist, not proof that the yarn suits the pattern or maker. Yarn records can be incomplete or wrong, prices and availability vary by market, and the site uses affiliate links. Confirm the required gauge, total length, fibre behavior, construction, care, color, dye lot, accessibility, and seller terms, then make and assess a representative swatch before committing. |

| What the source establishes | The guide cites current ISO lot-sampling and documented-information sources, NIST measurement-process guidance, U.S. Department of Commerce supplier-sample boundaries, and OECD garment-sector due-diligence guidance while rejecting universal stage counts and timing. | YarnSub's official FAQ says its matching software compares gauge, texture, yarn weight and density, fibre content, and fibre qualities such as drape and softness. Discontinued yarns remain searchable as starting points but are excluded from suggested replacements, and each yarn page provides a route to report source-data problems. |
