| Know before using | The company count is a changing platform claim. Search fields, profiles, certificates, locations, and account access do not independently verify the legal entity, factory ownership, capability, capacity, certificate validity or scope, compliance performance, delivery, or project fit. Confirm the site and subcontracting, credentials with issuers, samples, audits when appropriate, specifications, contracts, and commercial terms. | The project accepts donations and visibly marks partner shops, while many non-partner records contain only a name and address; verify existence, hours, inventory, accessibility, and services before traveling. |

| What the source establishes | FOURSOURCE's current public network page presents an operator-reported global company count and country or territory search. It says logged-in users can narrow results by compliance certificates, product groups, fabric types, target groups, minimum order quantities, and other fields, with a free-trial and supplier sign-up route. | The public database groups shops from Alabama through Wyoming, includes mobile shops and a map, and offers a correction form; commercial Yarn Adventure partners are marked with a star. |
