Pinterest Disclaimer

yarnwren.com shares crochet and amigurumi content on Pinterest to help readers discover patterns, stitches, and seasonal project ideas. This page explains how our pins should be understood, why visuals may look different depending on where you view them, and who to contact if you have a question or concern about an image connected to our boards.

Why We Use Pinterest

Pinterest is a visual discovery platform, and we use it the way most craft sites do: to give a quick, appealing preview of a pattern or tutorial found on yarnwren.com. A pin is meant to spark interest and summarize what a page is about — it is not a complete, standalone instruction set. The full stitch counts, yarn weights, hook sizes, and step-by-step notes always live on the actual article on our site, not in the pin image or its caption.

If a pin catches your eye, please treat it as a starting point rather than a finished reference. Click through to the linked page for the accurate, up-to-date version of any pattern or how-to.

Pins Are for Inspiration, Not Final Instruction

Amigurumi and crochet work often depends on small details — gauge, yarn thickness, stitch abbreviations — that simply cannot be captured in a single thumbnail. A pin might show a finished plush toy or a cozy blanket corner, but the written pattern behind it may include sizing notes, difficulty level, or material substitutions that aren't visible in the graphic itself. We do our best to keep pin text and imagery aligned with the linked article, but the pin should always be read as a summary, not the authority.

For more on how we approach accuracy and sourcing across the site, see our Editorial Policy.

Appearance May Vary by Screen and Device

Colors, texture detail, and cropping in a pin can look noticeably different depending on your device's screen, brightness settings, browser, or the Pinterest app version you're using. Yarn shades that look soft pink on one screen may appear more coral or salmon on another. This is a normal limitation of digital images and screen calibration, not an error on our part, and it applies equally to photos on our own pages.

• Monitor and phone screens render color differently from one another.
• Compressed or resized images (common on social platforms) can shift sharpness and tone.
• Lighting conditions when a photo was originally taken also affect how a finished piece appears later.

Because of this, always treat pin colors as approximate. If exact shade matching matters for a project, refer to the yarn label and dye lot information mentioned in the full pattern page rather than the pin thumbnail.

Pinterest Controls Its Own Platform Behavior

We create and schedule pins, but we do not control how Pinterest displays, ranks, crops, recommends, or moderates content once it's on their platform. Features like automatic cropping, related-pin suggestions, algorithmic feeds, and third-party repins are managed entirely by Pinterest, according to its own terms and systems. If a pin behaves unexpectedly — loads slowly, appears out of order, or shows alongside content we didn't create — that is platform behavior outside our control, not something published intentionally by yarnwren.com.

This also means Pinterest's own privacy practices, cookies, and tracking apply once you interact with their platform. For details on how our own site handles cookies and data, see our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy.

Image Sourcing and Rights

We take image sourcing seriously and aim to credit or license visuals appropriately across our pins and articles. If you believe a pin uses an image without proper attribution, or you have a rights-related question about a photo linked to yarnwren.com, we want to hear about it. Details on how we handle sourcing and credit across the site are outlined in our Image Credits page.

General limitations on how our content — including visuals shared through Pinterest — should be interpreted are also covered in our broader Disclaimer.

Raising a Concern

If something in a pin looks inaccurate, misattributed, or simply confusing compared to the linked pattern, please let us know so we can review and correct it. Concerns we're happy to look into include:

• A pin caption that doesn't match the current version of a pattern.
• An image you believe is used without correct credit.
• Broken or misdirected links from a pin back to our site.
• Color or sizing descriptions in a pin that seem misleading.

The fastest way to reach us is through our Contact page, or by emailing [email protected] directly with the pin link or a screenshot. We review reports individually and update or remove pins when a genuine issue is confirmed.
