| Know before using | This is the registered legal instrument, not a complete product compliance answer. It incorporates copyrighted standards whose full clauses, tables, and symbol specifications are not reproduced by this route; the ACCC states that licensed copies are purchased separately or may be viewed at an ACCC office subject to licensing conditions. The instrument does not classify a particular article, prove that wording or symbols are appropriate and adequate for every component, approve artwork, establish test evidence, or cover fibre content, origin, children's nightwear, chemicals, other product-safety duties, customs, buyer requirements, or legal advice. Confirm the latest version, exact regulated or exempt status, incorporated text, care evidence, label execution, related rules, and supply-chain records before market release. | 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. | The company count is a changing platform claim. Search fields, profiles, certificates, locations, and account access do not independently verify the legal entity, factory ownership, capability, capacity, certificate validity or scope, compliance performance, delivery, or project fit. Confirm the site and subcontracting, credentials with issuers, samples, audits when appropriate, specifications, contracts, and commercial terms. |

| What the source establishes | The Australian Government Federal Register of Legislation marks F2023L01187, the Consumer Goods (Care Labelling) Information Standard 2023, as in force, administered by the Department of the Treasury, authorised by the Competition and Consumer Act 2010, and current at the registered September 4, 2023 version. The instrument commenced September 5, 2023 under subsection 134(1) of the Australian Consumer Law. It defines regulated goods and detailed exemptions. After its two transition periods, section 10 requires regulated goods to use either section 11's varied AS/NZS 1957:1998 route or section 12's ISO 3758:2012 Clause 4 route. | 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. | FOURSOURCE's current public network page presents an operator-reported global company count and country or territory search. It says logged-in users can narrow results by compliance certificates, product groups, fabric types, target groups, minimum order quantities, and other fields, with a free-trial and supplier sign-up route. |
