Know before usingThe 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.An orientation rather than a completed product record; it does not supply a universal format, licensed standard content, measurements, tolerances, construction settings, labels, approvals, compliance conclusion, or product-release authority.Coverage reflects affiliated guilds, submitted events, and participating professionals rather than every regional option. HGA states that its paid professional listings are supplied and updated by the professional and are not HGA endorsements. Confirm current contact details, teaching format, accessibility, price, skill level, and safeguarding or insurance needs directly.

Source and review
What the source establishesThe 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.The guide cites current ISO sources for documented-information, garment-measurement, stitch, and seam boundaries plus current U.S. FTC textile and care-labeling guidance; it explicitly separates those authorities from product-specific technical and market decisions.The Handweavers Guild of America's current resources page links a searchable affiliate-guild directory, a paid professional-member directory and fiber-art resource guide, book reviews, a public event calendar, scholarships, a quarterly member magazine, and program and store information for weaving, spinning, dyeing, and related fiber arts.
