<p>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 <a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/1pUW">NO
uses of shop=wool in the entire United States</a>, with the
exception of one I added this morning. Though there are several
with tags like `knit|yarn`, none of which (tags) are documented. <br>
</p>
<p>I think it's fair to say that outside of Britain and parts of
Europe, this is just starting to be mapped. Maybe because the
documentation didn't mention yarn? Maybe because `shop=wool` isn't
an option in ID yet? Maybe because it's hard to knit and digitize
maps at the same time??<br>
</p>
<p>I think I'll leave the proposal for `shop=yarn` in place,
updating it to reflect the current usage of `shop=wool` and we can
vote on whether to prefer one tag over the other. If it gets voted
down at least we'll have established some consensus around
`shop=wool` and can move forward with that.</p>
<p>Best, <br>
