Practical sourcing research, with clear limits.

What the site covers

The site focuses on decisions before and after a fiber art inventory purchase: product specifications, samples, terms, compatibility, landed cost, kit completeness, pattern permissions, receiving checks and supplier records. Core topics include hand-dyed wool, rug hooking tools, kits, wool appliqué, patterns and cross-border sourcing.

The guides are for small operations that may not have a dedicated purchasing or compliance department. They help readers prepare better questions; they do not replace samples, written agreements or qualified professional advice.

Editorial methodology

1. Define one buyer task. Each indexable page owns a distinct decision. Overlapping legacy pages are consolidated rather than retained for slightly different phrases.
2. Prefer primary sources. Compliance articles link to agencies such as U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the U.S. International Trade Commission and the Federal Trade Commission.
3. Label examples honestly. Worked costs and scorecards are identified as hypothetical unless a real source is named and documented.
4. Separate listings from endorsements. The directory links to official business sites as research starting points. Inclusion does not mean a supplier was tested or approved.
5. Date substantive reviews. Guides show when content received a meaningful check, and directory entries state when their official sites were reviewed.

Independence and disclosure

As of August 10, 2026, FPB Fiber Market does not sell the products discussed, accept paid directory placement, publish sponsored articles or use affiliate links. No listed business paid for inclusion. If that changes, the affected page should disclose the relationship close to the relevant content.

The site is not a customs broker, freight forwarder, attorney, accountant, standards body or trade association. Importers and exporters remain responsible for current classification, valuation, marking, licensing, tax and destination-country requirements.

Corrections and updates

Wholesale terms, links and regulations change. Readers and listed businesses may report a broken link, factual error or outdated description by email. A correction request should identify the page, the statement in question and a primary source when available. Material corrections should be made promptly; minor wording changes may wait for the next scheduled review.

Images and attribution

Editorial photographs are stored locally and used as topic illustrations. Photo credits are shown where appropriate, but stock images are not evidence that FPB Fiber Market tested the pictured product or supplier.

Relationship to the domain's earlier use

This resource does not claim to be, represent or continue any previous business that used this domain. Selected historical URLs redirect to the closest current educational topic so old links do not strand visitors. Current pages and directory entries are independently produced for the site's present sourcing focus.
