| Best for | Checking which U.S. alias the current Craft Yarn Council table gives a known metric package size before confirming project gauge | Finding Peru-based exporter leads by productive sector, tariff heading, destination market, and region before direct supplier screening | Searching current and out-of-print sewing patterns |
| Know before using | The reference is not a dimensional measurement, manufacturer inspection, UK or Canadian conversion, steel-hook chart, tool recommendation, yarn assignment, gauge result, or proof that a proposed tool will produce the required fabric. | Historical export activity is discovery evidence, not proof of current products, factory ownership, capacity, minimums, price, quality, certification, labor conditions, contact accuracy, or fit for a project. Confirm the legal entity, facility, capability, and current terms directly. | Community members add and quality-control the records, so confirm sizing, measurements, fabric suggestions, format, availability, errata, license, and purchase terms with the designer or publisher. Adding an entry to a stash does not provide the pattern files. Saved searches and private PDF storage are paid Plus features, and a listing or review does not establish pattern accuracy or fit. |

| What the source establishes | The lookup reproduces the current public Craft Yarn Council metric and U.S. alias rows and follows the Council's warning that company letter and number labels vary; blank aliases remain blank instead of being inferred. | PROMPERÚ states that the interactive report uses annual export statistics from the last three closed years and segments results by productive sector, tariff heading, destination market, and region; clothing and decoration is an available sector. | Threadloop's official guide describes an independent, fully crowdsourced database covering available and out-of-print sewing patterns. Its search supports pattern type, fabric type, age group, body type, cup size, level, format, file features, language, measurements, availability, and other filters; members can also track a stash, wishlist, projects, reviews, and discussions. |
