Know before usingThe 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.These are vendor-authored process starting points, not guarantees of shade, fastness, discharge quality, worker safety, wastewater acceptability, or production repeatability. Results vary with fibre preparation, water, temperature, pH, dye lot, auxiliaries, equipment, and studio conditions. Test on the actual material and follow current safety data, ventilation, disposal, and local environmental requirements.The record does not create a production grade, supply universal increments or breakpoints, validate a CAD file or fit population, reproduce licensed standards, or replace qualified anthropometric, pattern, technical-design, fit, quality, accessibility, safety, statistical, and user-research review.

Source and review
What the source establishesThe 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.Maiwa's current instruction-sheet page provides free web or PDF guidance for natural dyes, mordants and assistants, several indigo-vat methods, kakishibu, symplocos, mineral pigments, katazome, block printing, paste resist, batik, silk painting, and stretching and steaming cloth. Each topic links a dedicated guide rather than only a product listing.The guide cites current ISO body-table, size-designation, and garment-measurement boundaries plus two peer-reviewed studies that tested the relationship between conventional grade rules, anthropometric evidence, and garment fit; it requires product-specific target deltas and validation instead of publishing universal increments.
