| Know before using | An orientation rather than a completed product record; it does not supply a universal format, licensed standard content, measurements, tolerances, construction settings, labels, approvals, compliance conclusion, or product-release authority. | 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. |

| What the source establishes | The guide cites current ISO sources for documented-information, garment-measurement, stitch, and seam boundaries plus current U.S. FTC textile and care-labeling guidance; it explicitly separates those authorities from product-specific technical and market decisions. | The public database groups shops from Alabama through Wyoming, includes mobile shops and a map, and offers a correction form; commercial Yarn Adventure partners are marked with a star. |
