| Best for | Building a walkable or call-ahead fabric-shopping list in Brás, then checking retail or wholesale terms, stock, units, and suitability with each business | Replacing a discontinued or unavailable yarn | Finding independent EU yarn or fibre dyers with off-Ravelry purchase routes |
| Know before using | This is a commercial, self-submission directory for one São Paulo shopping district, not a Brazil-wide shop census or independent material assessment. Listing, wording, contact data, and product keywords may come from the business. Confirm current operation, retail access, stock, fibre content, width, weight, lot, units, minimums, price, payment, accessibility, returns, and travel safety directly. The interface is Portuguese. | 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. | It is one curator's intentionally selective, off-Ravelry-oriented database, inventories change, and paid supporters can receive rotating priority placement; verify availability, fibre claims, shipping, and terms directly. |

| What the source establishes | The live category page reported 119 fabric and remnant listings inside a 3,355-business Brás guide, exposes address and contact routes, supports street-level browsing, and states that businesses may submit a free profile for team review. | 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. | The individually researched database offers free listings and sortable yarn, fibre, designer, editor, accessory, and location views; the EU page spans multiple countries and direct seller profiles. |
