| Know before using | This is a government course listing, not a free tutorial, confirmed intake, guaranteed seat, independent course review, or assessment of trainers, facilities, accessibility, safety, certification, placement, or outcomes. The rendered page currently shows no duration and displays a zero course fee even though the public API marks the course non-free, reports the fee as unspecified, and stores different NVQ 3 and NVQ 4 durations. Do not rely on the displayed zero. Confirm the current level, duration, full cost, district and institution, intake, application status, entry documents, language, timetable, facilities, accessibility, safety, assessment, certificate, and placement directly with NAITA. | 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. | An account is required and community, publisher, designer, shop, yarn, and project records can vary in currency and accuracy. Search results, ratings, favorites, and project examples do not establish pattern accuracy, yarn availability, seller reliability, fit, gauge, or project suitability. Confirm current files, errata, license, purchase and refund terms, measurements, yarn details, and shop information with the responsible source. |

| What the source establishes | Sri Lanka's National Apprentice and Industrial Training Authority identifies itself as a government vocational-training body established under the Tertiary and Vocational Education Act No. 20 of 1990. Its public Tailor course page lists sewing, cutting, garment design, measurement, fabric selection, patternmaking, stitching, completion of Grade 10, all-district availability, and an application action. The connected public API identifies course code D18S004.3, marks the record active and enterprise-based, stores NVQ 3 and NVQ 4 duration fields, marks the course non-free, reports the course fee as unspecified, and publishes a LKR 1,000 registration fee. | 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. | Ravelry's official description identifies a user-driven database of knitting and crochet patterns and yarns, searchable directories for designers, pattern sources, local yarn stores and yarn brands, and a personal notebook for projects, stash, tools, library items, queues, and favorites. Community members and volunteer editors add and maintain the database records. |
