| Know before using | Tailor is a broad trade label and does not prove that an individual accepts repair, alteration, a particular garment, or a particular material. The public artisan list does not expose a category filter, contact numbers are masked, and the visible population changes as registrations are processed. Portal registration, an identity field, or a training-certificate field is not a Stitch Authority assessment or evidence of workmanship. A customer account is required to book. Confirm service scope, current availability, identity, price, turnaround, travel, accessibility, custody, added work, warranty, and outcome directly before handing over an item. | Free access does not grant commercial reproduction or sale rights; uses beyond one personal copy must be resolved with the designer or author. Knitty says it tries to avoid errors but disclaims responsibility for pattern and technique inaccuracies. Check the live page for corrections, verify gauge and measurements, and confirm permission before any commercial use. | Source-reviewed describes the page and its cited decision boundaries. It does not authenticate a commercial roll, seller claim, fibre percentage, construction, finish, performance result, machine setting, care route, compliance status, supplier, or product fitness. Internal browse bands are navigation labels, not textile standards or product classes; an entry without a usable listed mass range is unclassified. Check the actual article, seller data, care label, equipment instructions, representative assemblies, applicable rules, and project requirements before deciding. |

| What the source establishes | The current portal exposes Tailor as a service category, district and location controls, customer registration, and a public paginated artisan list with names, masked contact numbers, district, and division. Its public process says artisan registration asks for a service category, Aadhaar number, and training certificate, while the terms describe UPSIC as a facilitator connecting registered artisans with service seekers rather than a party to the service contract. | Knitty currently publishes web-only editorial issues containing original knitting and crochet patterns and articles. Its legal page states that patterns are free for one person's personal use, identifies each designer or author as the copyright holder, and explains that verified pattern corrections are posted in bright pink on the pattern page. | All 50 current cloth entries meet the source-reviewed content contract. The public index, cards, permanent pages, and site search expose that state, while the repository audit enforces a current review date, substantive scope, decision boundaries, and at least three external sources. The migrated cases cover fibre and family representations, woven and knitted construction, open nets, raised and dimensional surfaces, mass, thickness, drape, elasticity, colour, seams, pressing, care state, supports, and complete-product decisions. |
