I was at a store like that
<https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/10298704171> just recently.
In that case I would probably tend to separate with a semicolon
`shop=yarn;sewing` or just pick the dominant type. There can be a bit of
a blurry boundary there for sure, same as for `shop=sewing` and
`shop=fabric`. In that case I usually try to decide whether it's mostly
fabric or other stuff like sewing machines and just pick one.
The problem with `sewing=yarn` IMO is that sewing and knitting aren't
really all that closely related. You can be an expert at one without
knowing the first thing about the other. None of the equipment or
materials are the same.
I think there's a bigger discussion to be had about how to tag "craft
stores" and "art supply stores", and the things they sell, and maybe
everything here is a subclass of whatever that category is most properly
called. But I fear that may be a can of worms that will have us
attempting to define "art".

Would it be reasonable to use shop=sewing sewing=yarn type of schema?
[1] I tried knitting just enough to confirm that it is not a hobby for me,
my sewing supplies do not expand beyond buttons/thread.

Howdy y'all,
I am proposing to make official a tag that is already in use to
some degree, *shop=yarn*, for shops that primarily sell yarn and
other knitting/crochet supplies. Currently the wiki has these
falling under shop=sewing. As a long-time sewer who has recently
taken up knitting, I can say with confidence that these are very
different things; though sometimes larger stores will sell both.

Please discuss this proposal on its Wiki Talk page.
Thanks,
