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.The record does not identify a submitted textile, provide a home burn procedure, turn an observation into a fibre or blend result, choose a laboratory method, establish flammability or market compliance, validate a care instruction, or replace qualified laboratory, textile, conservation, safety, compliance, and legal review.Patternmaking knowledge, controlled measurement files, production conventions, and sewn fit testing are still required. The software does not validate body measurements, ease, balance, grading rules, fabric behavior, construction, or product fit. The project currently labels its user wiki manual as needing updates, so confirm current commands and file behavior against the installed release and active support channels.

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.The guide cites current AATCC qualitative and quantitative fibre-analysis methods, the published ISO 1833-1 quantitative-analysis principles, ASTM's withdrawn D276 status and reinstatement work item, current FTC U.S. textile-label guidance, and current CPSC clothing-textile flammability guidance.The maintained Seamly2D repository identifies the application as GPLv3+ open-source patternmaking software for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It reads multi-size measurement files for standardized sizes and individual measurement files for custom-fit work, publishes downloadable builds and releases, and links an active website and user forum.
