A dataset of yarns from the knitting and crocheting website, ravelry.com
This yarn data is a table of 100,000 yarns collected via the ravelry API.
I emailed Ravelry to confirm that this data could be used for education/entertainment purposes. The only data that should not be used would be notes copyrighted by a brand (not in this data).
The data includes information on the yarn name, weight, machine washable, rating_average, rating_count, texture, yardage, company name, etc.
The yarn data is a csv with 100000 rows and 24 variables.

If you like this idea, I put the data and a data dictionary here: https://github.com/awalsh17/ravelry_yarns
Other yarn attributes (animal or synthetic fiber, fiber type, needle size) could be shared, but the primary data might be sufficiently interesting.
This is my first dataset suggestion - I don't have an article on the data, but I suppose I could create one?
