Re: [Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - yarn shops

I do know some knitters, they are very exacting: if you need "Size 7 circular needles," you better find one of these shops, or you must suffer online ordering / shipping. The supplies (yarn, especially, but really, all of it) are quite specific: "nothing else will do." And as I've shopped

Re: [Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - yarn shops

I tend to agree still that `shop=wool` isn't quite the right tag. I was looking into this a bit more and there are NO uses of shop=wool in the entire United States , with the exception of one I added this morning. Though there are several with tags like

Re: [Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - yarn shops

As far as I know yarn to knit socks and other textiles to be washed often are made nowadays usually from a mixture of wool and polyester (or other synthetic materials) while there are sold many balls of wool to knit other textiles at least in Wollgeschäften (literally wool shops) in Germany.

shop=wool ... this seems like almost exactly what I'm proposing. And is used much more frequently than shop=yarn. And yet for me, I never even thought to search for this. And the word 'yarn' doesn't

Re: [Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - yarn shops

Shops selling wool are commonly referred to as wool shops so why not shop=wool? Yarn doesn't seem very intuitive to me as a native English speaker. Phil (trigpoint) On 2 January 2023 17:14:28 GMT, Nate Wessel wrote: >Howdy y'all, > >I am proposing to make official a tag that is already in use

Re: [Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - yarn shops

Yes, sewing and knitting aren't all that related. In California, we have what are often known as "Vac-and-Sew" shops which sell (not necessarily all of) vacuum cleaners and their supplies (hoses, attachments, nozzles, refill bags...), sewing supplies and maybe sewing machines, sometimes

I was at a store like that just recently. In that case I would probably tend to separate with a semicolon `shop=yarn;sewing` or just pick the dominant type. There can be a bit of a blurry boundary there for sure, same as for `shop=sewing` and

What about shops that sell about equal amount of them and as nonspecialist[1] I have no idea which is dominating? Would it be reasonable to use shop=sewing sewing=yarn type of schema? [1] I tried knitting just enough to confirm that it is not a hobby for me, my sewing supplies do not expand
