Know before usingRegional inclusion and a company profile do not prove origin eligibility, available capacity, minimums, compliance, workmanship, or commercial fit.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.The tool does not verify label values, convert between metres and yards, identify fibre or yarn diameter, assign a yarn-weight category, predict gauge or fabric, prescribe reserve, guarantee required quantity, check dye-lot supply, score candidates, or approve a substitution. A representative treated specimen and project-specific fabric, care, wear, comfort, supply, and quantity review remain required.

Source and review
What the source establishesThe ConnectAmericas-powered platform exposes a company directory for manufacturers, importers, and input suppliers plus purchasing notices and a knowledge center.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 planner performs visible arithmetic only on user-entered project length, reserve, package length, package mass, and price. Its connected source-reviewed guide cites the current Craft Yarn Council category, FAQ, WPI, and hook-and-needle guidance plus ASTM and ISO linear-density sources, and explicitly separates label comparison from substitution approval.
