Added in https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Tag:shop%3Dwool&diff=2458814&oldid=2018646

> It's also not referenced anywhere on the > shop=sewing <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:shop%3Dsewing>>  page, which explicitly mentions knitting needles, etc. Nor on the > shop=fabric <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:shop%3Dfabric>>  nor > shop=haberdashery <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag%3Ashop%3Dhaberdashery>>  pages.

Feel free to add them to "See also" section!

> 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?

No, and in general feel free to add such "see also" 
(except cases like linking barely used controversial tags, but this does not apply here)

>
> 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. 
>
>
> I would also want to drop references to yarn and knitting needles      from shop=sewing, pointing to shop=wool for that. 
>
>
> It seems like shop=haberdashery and shop=sewing need some further      discussion, as they seem almost impossible to distinguish from the      wiki documentation.

Note that maybe they are effectively duplicates with the same meaning in practice
And in such cases OSM Wiki should not pretend that there is some systematic difference.
