| Best for | Replacing a discontinued or unavailable yarn | Enterprise pattern rooms and supplier file exchange | Auditing inherited grade rules or controlling a new multi-size pattern release from approved targets through sample evidence | Using construction codes without treating classification as a machine setting, material assignment, supplier translation, or performance guarantee |
| Know before using | A suggested match is a data-based shortlist, not proof that the yarn suits the pattern or maker. Yarn records can be incomplete or wrong, prices and availability vary by market, and the site uses affiliate links. Confirm the required gauge, total length, fibre behavior, construction, care, color, dye lot, accessibility, and seller terms, then make and assess a representative swatch before committing. | The page does not publish price and its product-quality, error-prevention, data-loss, and fit statements are vendor claims. Capabilities vary across Essential, Classic, Expert, 3D, and add-ons. Confirm licenses, modules, support, system and file requirements, then pilot approved blocks, grade rules, supplier reopen, material and mannequin data, plot or cut outputs, and risk-appropriate physical fit and production checks. | The record does not create a production grade, supply universal increments or breakpoints, validate a CAD file or fit population, reproduce licensed standards, or replace qualified anthropometric, pattern, technical-design, fit, quality, accessibility, safety, statistical, and user-research review. | The record does not reproduce licensed code diagrams, verify a user's proposed code, authorize an ISO and ASTM crosswalk, select a construction, set stitch density or machine settings, prove supplier repeatability or performance, or replace the licensed standards and qualified construction, sewing, production, testing, safety, and quality review. |

| What the source establishes | YarnSub's official FAQ says its matching software compares gauge, texture, yarn weight and density, fibre content, and fibre qualities such as drape and softness. Discontinued yarns remain searchable as starting points but are excluded from suggested replacements, and each yarn page provides a route to report source-data problems. | Lectra's current Modaris page identifies version 2025.2 as the latest listed release and describes a one- to three-year subscription with two releases per year. The modular range covers base-pattern creation and modification, grading and industrialization, native-file supplier work, pattern libraries, synchronized 2D and 3D prototypes, configurable or imported mannequins, and separate conversion and consumption-estimate add-ons. | The guide cites current ISO body-table, size-designation, and garment-measurement boundaries plus two peer-reviewed studies that tested the relationship between conventional grade rules, anthropometric evidence, and garment fit; it requires product-specific target deltas and validation instead of publishing universal increments. | The guide cites the current public scopes and statuses of ISO 4915:1991, ISO 4916:1991, and ASTM D6193-16(2025), plus current seam-failure and seam-tensile methods; it keeps classification, translation, complete process definition, physical verification, and performance evidence separate. |
