| Know before using | 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. | Coverage is limited to participating countries and eligible factories, and current migration can delay recent assessments; absence of a published issue is not approval, a complete audit, or proof of sourcing fit. |
