| Know before using | The project accepts donations and visibly marks partner shops, while many non-partner records contain only a name and address; verify existence, hours, inventory, accessibility, and services before traveling. | It is one curator's intentionally selective, off-Ravelry-oriented database, inventories change, and paid supporters can receive rotating priority placement; verify availability, fibre claims, shipping, and terms directly. |
