| Know before using | An export record proves a transaction in the selected period, not that the exporter owns or currently operates a textile facility or accepts outside production work. Values can reflect small or irregular shipments, contacts can be incomplete, and historical product lines do not establish present capacity, minimums, price, workmanship, quality, certification, labor conditions, delivery, or project fit. | 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. | 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 public directory supports export-period, Uruguay XXI category, two-digit NCM tariff chapter, destination-country, and company-name searches. The current view covers January through June 2026; textile choices include wool and fabrics, apparel and other textiles, and chapters 50 through 63. Company pages can expose contacts, annual export values, destinations, and tariff lines. | 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. | 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. |
