| Best for | Checking which U.S. alias the current Craft Yarn Council table gives a known metric package size before confirming project gauge | Starting a bluesign-aligned supplier check |
| Know before using | The reference is not a dimensional measurement, manufacturer inspection, UK or Canadian conversion, steel-hook chart, tool recommendation, yarn assignment, gauge result, or proof that a proposed tool will produce the required fabric. | Partner status is not a blanket product claim; use the current official list and confirm the exact facility, material, process, or chemical-input scope. |

| What the source establishes | The lookup reproduces the current public Craft Yarn Council metric and U.S. alias rows and follows the Council's warning that company letter and number labels vary; blank aliases remain blank instead of being inferred. | bluesign publishes current system-partner lists and approved-input references that can support facility, material, chemical, dyeing, and finishing checks. |
