| Best for | Finding the current CYC hook and needle aliases that share one known nominal metric diameter before confirming project gauge | Turning an unfamiliar phrase or production acronym into a precise next question | Planning the current CPSC certificate-data handoff for regulated imports with the importer, finished-product certifier, customs broker, and entry records |
| Know before using | A shared nominal diameter does not make a knitting needle and crochet hook interchangeable or predict equal gauge or fabric. The reference is not a physical measurement, manufacturer inspection, UK or Canadian conversion, steel-hook chart, tool recommendation, yarn assignment, or project approval. | It is a translation and orientation layer, not legal advice, certification approval, a purchased standard, or proof that a supplier, sample, or lot conforms. | The portal does not decide whether a product requires certification, identify the correct rules or certificate data, classify an entry, replace the current 16 CFR part 1110 text, or reconcile a filing to an actual shipment. Effective dates and workflows differ by entry route; use current CPSC, CBP, customs, product-safety, and legal review. |

| What the source establishes | Rechecked July 28, 2026. The lookup reproduces the current public Craft Yarn Council metric and U.S. alias rows, aligns hooks and needles only when their nominal millimetre value matches, and leaves missing rows or aliases unfilled. | Each entry includes plain-language aliases, a working definition, a decision boundary, a checked source, and an internal next step; a repository audit enforces completeness and review dates. | CPSC operates the eFiling portal with role-specific importer, broker, applicability, Product Registry, regulated-product, laboratory, ACE, FAQ, video, and document-library routes. The certificate final rule took effect July 8, 2026 for covered non-FTZ products, with separate timing for covered FTZ entries. |
