Editorial Policy
Independence, sourcing, update cadence, and how corrections get made.
Last updated September 4, 2026
The short answer
Every page here is built from published specifications and cited sources, and no product appears in exchange for payment or free product. Commission never determines a pick or its rank. Corrections are made against the source, not our memory of it, and the page's last-updated date changes when they are.
How pages are researched
Product specifications come from the manufacturer's own published documentation - product pages, specification sheets, care labels - and each product on the site links the source it came from.
Sizing, gauge and yarn-weight categories come from the Craft Yarn Council's published standard, reproduced without adjustment. Yardage arithmetic is shown on the page so you can run it yourself.
Health and safety-adjacent claims - microplastic shedding, PFAS, contact dermatitis - are sourced only to published studies, regulators or standards bodies. Never a blog, never a retailer.
Independence
- Commission does not decide a pick or its rank. Picks are made from published specifications before any affiliate link is built.
- No product is included in exchange for payment. No sponsored placements, no paid inclusions, no affiliate-manager suggestions.
- No free product is accepted. Nothing on this site was sent to us.
- We will recommend the cheaper option when it is the right one - and we do, repeatedly, because for blankets and baby items it usually is.
- We will tell you not to buy something. Every roundup carries at least one "skip this" verdict.
What we will not publish
- Any claim of hands-on testing, ownership or use. We do not test products.
- Any invented credential - certification, expertise, tenure or expert panel.
- Any fabricated review, rating, review count or testimonial.
- Any price typed into copy. Prices render from the live layer with a date, or they do not appear.
- Any confident answer to a question the sources do not settle. Where the evidence is mixed, the page says so.
Review and update cadence
| Content | Cadence | Trigger |
|---|---|---|
| Prices | Daily, automated | - |
| Roundup picks | Quarterly | Immediately on discontinuation or a lasting stock-out |
| Reference tables | Twice yearly | Or on a change to the published standard |
| Fiber guides | Twice yearly | Or on significant new published research |
| Trust pages | On change | Any change to method, author framing or affiliate relationships |
Every page displays a real last-updated date taken from its own document metadata, never a build timestamp.
Corrections
- Report it to info@worstedandweave.com, with the page and what is wrong. A source link makes it much faster.
- We check it against the source. Not against our memory, and not against another website.
- We fix it and change the page's last-updated date.
- Substantive corrections are noted on the page - a wrong specification, or a changed recommendation. We do not quietly delete a pick that turned out to be wrong.
Author
Every page here is written by Sawyer V., positioned honestly as an enthusiast rather than an expert. No credential is claimed, because none is held. The full framing is on the about page, and the research method is on how we pick.
Funding
Affiliate commission, disclosed above the first affiliate link on every page that carries one, and set out in full on the affiliate disclosure page.
