Transparency and reader trust are the absolute foundation of Palace Craving. This page outlines our affiliate relationships, editorial integrity standards, and safety disclaimers for all craft tutorials published across our platform.
1. FTC Affiliate Disclosure
In compliance with Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines, please assume that links to products, yarn skeins, crochet hooks, and crafting supplies on Palace Craving may be affiliate links.
What this means for you: When you click on an affiliate link and make a purchase, Palace Craving may earn a small referral commission from the merchant at absolutely no additional cost to you. The price you pay remains exactly the same whether you use our link or purchase directly through the retailer.
These affiliate commissions allow us to purchase yarn samples, test tools, photograph step-by-step guides, and maintain our growing catalog of free patterns accessible to makers worldwide.
2. Amazon Associates Disclosure
Palace Craving is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for website owners to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites.
3. Editorial Independence & Honest Testing
Our editorial recommendations are 100% independent. We do not accept monetary compensation to write positive reviews for products that fail our studio standards. If we recommend an ergonomic hook set, a blocking board, or a specific cotton blend, it is because we have physically tested it on our worktable and genuinely found it worthwhile for everyday makers.
4. Crafting Safety & Health Disclaimer
Crochet and fiber crafts involve the handling of sharp tools (such as yarn snips, tapestry needles, rotary cutters, and blocking pins) as well as repetitive wrist and hand motions:
- Tool Safety: Keep sharp scissors, needles, and blocking t-pins stored safely away from young children and pets. Loose yarn strands can pose entanglement hazards to household animals.
- Repetitive Strain Awareness: Crocheting for prolonged periods without rest can contribute to hand fatigue, tendonitis, or carpal tunnel strain. We recommend taking regular 10-minute stretch breaks, maintaining ergonomic wrist posture, and discontinuing work if you experience pain or numbness.
- Home Decor & Fire Safety: When creating handmade home decor such as candle cozies, lampshades, or heat pads, ensure adequate distance from open flames and verify heat tolerances of synthetic acrylic fibers versus natural cotton.
