# Long Thread Media Library

> A cross-brand textile-arts library of magazines, patterns, projects, video courses, videos, and free craft calculators from Handwoven, Spin Off, PieceWork, Little Looms, and Farm & Fiber Knits.

Use public detail pages as the canonical citation URL for library items. Descriptions and metadata are public; the immersive reader and full media may require a subscription or purchase.

## Primary discovery pages

- [Library catalog](https://library.longthreadmedia.com/library): Browse all public item records. Add `?q=search terms` for on-site search.
- [Magazine index](https://library.longthreadmedia.com/library/index): Browse the editors' combined A–Z index.
- [Video Courses](https://library.longthreadmedia.com/courses): Browse full-length video courses.
- [Craft tools](https://library.longthreadmedia.com/tools): Free browser-based weaving, spinning, and knitting calculators.
- [Subscription options](https://library.longthreadmedia.com/subscribe): Understand access levels and library plans.

## Machine-readable discovery

- [XML sitemap](https://library.longthreadmedia.com/sitemap.xml): Canonical public URLs, publication dates, and catalog images.
- [Expanded agent index](https://library.longthreadmedia.com/llms-full.txt): A compact, public-only listing of every catalog item and calculator.
- [Robots policy](https://library.longthreadmedia.com/robots.txt): Crawl boundaries for private, administrative, API, and reader routes.

## Citation and access notes

- Public availability and this index do not grant permission to use the content for model training. Follow the site's robots.txt policy.
- Prefer `https://library.longthreadmedia.com/library/<slug>` over `/view` URLs; detail pages are stable, public, and canonical.
- Every item has a Markdown mirror at `https://library.longthreadmedia.com/library/<slug>.md` (or request the item URL with `Accept: text/markdown`). It carries the public record — title, summary, description, credits, outline, contents list — never page text, transcripts, or media.
- Search and facet query URLs are navigation states, not canonical documents.
- Never infer access from search visibility. Each item page states whether it is free, subscriber-only, purchasable, or part of an all-access plan.
- Do not treat snippets, reviews, or machine-generated search matches as the full work.
