| Best for | Checking which U.S. alias the current Craft Yarn Council table gives a known metric package size before confirming project gauge | Getting an accessible Australian care-labelling overview before opening the registered legal instrument and any incorporated standard needed for the product | Understanding what a tech pack must control before using a template or releasing work |
| 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. | The ACCC explicitly describes this page as an overview that suppliers must not use as a complete compliance guide. It is not the registered instrument or the full licensed text of AS/NZS 1957:1998 or ISO 3758:2012, and it does not classify a product, select or approve instructions, or cover fibre content, origin, children's nightwear, chemicals, general product safety, every state or territory issue, or legal advice. Check the current instrument, exact product scope and exemptions, incorporated text, label execution, related rules, records, and enforcement guidance before supply. | 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. |

| 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. | The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission Product Safety page identifies the Consumer Goods (Care Labelling) Information Standard 2023 as the mandatory rule for prescribed clothing, household textiles, furnishings, bedding, piece goods, textile yarns, leather, fur, and other listed goods. It publishes the main exclusions, states that suppliers may use English care instructions, the five internationally recognised care symbols, or both, and links the registered instrument and explanatory statement. It also states that the rule draws on specified parts of AS/NZS 1957:1998 and ISO 3758:2012 and that non-compliance can lead to penalties or a recall obligation. | 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. |
