| Know before using | This is one paid, in-person Nairobi training institution, not a free tutorial library, provider directory, continental curriculum, independent course review, guarantee of admission, or assessment of teaching quality, accessibility, equipment, safety, qualification recognition, graduate outcomes, or project fit. Published fees, intakes, prerequisites, course availability, attachment requirements, and awards can change and some page labels are inconsistent. Confirm the exact course, current intake, total cost, entry documents, schedule, language, facilities, accessibility, safety controls, assessment, and award directly with NITA before relying on the page or travelling. | 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. | Patternmaking knowledge, controlled measurement files, production conventions, and sewn fit testing are still required. The software does not validate body measurements, ease, balance, grading rules, fabric behavior, construction, or product fit. The project currently labels its user wiki manual as needing updates, so confirm current commands and file behavior against the installed release and active support channels. | A company result is not a blanket approval; confirm the certificate scope, validity, facility, process, product, and transaction documentation for the exact purchase. |

| What the source establishes | Kenya's National Industrial Training Authority identifies N-TTI as its Nairobi textile-industry training centre. The checked first-party page lists January, May, and September intakes; self-sponsored and industry-sponsored modes; named courses and durations across spinning, hand-loom and machine weaving, tie-dye and batik, screen printing, fabric processing, dressmaking, tailoring, knitting, embroidery, machine operation and maintenance, and textile testing; entry conditions; a term fee table; and direct telephone contacts. NITA's industrial-training overview separately identifies N-TTI among its public training centres and links visitors to admissions, intake, and facility information. | 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 maintained Seamly2D repository identifies the application as GPLv3+ open-source patternmaking software for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It reads multi-size measurement files for standardized sizes and individual measurement files for custom-fit work, publishes downloadable builds and releases, and links an active website and user forum. | The official GOTS search exposes certified entities by country, field of operation, product category, and certification detail, including processing and trading scopes. |
