... this seems like almost exactly what I'm proposing. And is used
much <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/1pEi">more frequently</a> than
shop=yarn. <br>
</p>
<p>And yet for me, I never even thought to search for this. And the
word 'yarn' doesn't actually appear anywhere on the page or it
would have shown up in my searches of the wiki. <br>
</p>
<p>It's also not referenced anywhere on the <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:shop%3Dsewing">shop=sewing</a>
page, which explicitly mentions knitting needles, etc. Nor on the
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:shop%3Dfabric">shop=fabric</a>
nor <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag%3Ashop%3Dhaberdashery">shop=haberdashery</a>
pages. <br>
</p>
<p>It seems like maybe the real problem here is that the various
tags related to the "fibre-arts" aren't all that well documented
yet and not at all well cross-referenced. Would anyone object to
an attempt to better cross-reference and distinguish these
categories? <br>
</p>
<p>In particular it seems to me like shop=wool should encompass
things like knitting needles, and specify that it would be selling
(wool) yarn, and not wool fabric as that would fall under
shop=fabric. <br>
</p>
<p>I would also want to drop references to yarn and knitting needles
from shop=sewing, pointing to shop=wool for that. <br>
</p>
<p>It seems like shop=haberdashery and shop=sewing need some further
discussion, as they seem almost impossible to distinguish from the
wiki documentation. Personally, I always thought of a haberdashery
as a hat shop?? I somehow hadn't even heard of that tag before
this discussion. <br>

Shops selling wool are commonly referred to as wool shops so why
not shop=wool?<br>
<br>
Yarn doesn't seem very intuitive to me as a native English
speaker.<br>

<p>Howdy y'all, <br>
</p>
<p>I am proposing to make official a tag that is already in
use to some degree, <b>shop=yarn</b>, for shops that
primarily sell yarn and other knitting/crochet supplies.
Currently the wiki has these falling under shop=sewing. As a
long-time sewer who has recently taken up knitting, I can
say with confidence that these are very different things;
though sometimes larger stores will sell both. <br>
