| Best for | Checking which U.S. alias the current Craft Yarn Council table gives a known metric package size before confirming project gauge | Teachers and learners planning a structured school-based progression in practical textile skills, product design, materials, and production processes | Working between pattern systems |
| 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. | This is a teacher-led NSW secondary-school resource, not an adult self-guided course, professional qualification, current equipment or safety manual, factory production specification, universal sewing method, or proof of product fitness. Large DOCX and PPTX files require compatible software and may create accessibility barriers. Confirm current machine instructions, supervision, measurements, material behavior, syllabus requirements, and project-specific safety independently. | A unit reference; the correct allowance depends on material, seam type, and production method. |

| 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 NSW Department of Education's current Technology 7-8 page describes approximately 20 weeks of adaptable 60-minute lesson sequences for practical textile skills, product design, materials, and production processes. It exposes a program of learning, teacher resource, two sample assessments, and a slide deck. The page records a January 22, 2026 update, and both the page and direct program document returned successfully during review. | The linked tool or guide is maintained inside Stitch Authority and was checked against its current public interface. |
