Suggestion for information to include in the description

Dear Crazypatterns Team,
I enjoy using your patterns often for crocheting and sewing, and I have a suggestion regarding clarity: It would be very helpful to me if the crochet patterns listed the type of yarn, hook size, and amount of yarn used directly in the description—that is, before making a purchase.
It would also be helpful for the sewing patterns to specify the amount of fabric needed or the specific fabrics to be used in advance.  That way, it would be easier to decide whether the patterns you offer match your own assortment of fabric and wool or yarn.
(Sometimes this information is even missing from the patterns—just like the finished size for crocheted animals, etc.)
I’d really appreciate your feedback on my idea. Best regards

Hello Sarah-Herfurth,
Welcome to our forum. It’s great that you’re sharing what you’d like to see. This is a common request, and we pass it along to the authors regularly.
My tip for you: You can also contact any author before making a purchase and ask for information about the materials, yarn, fabric, or needle size.

Dear Josefa,
thank you for the quick reply. Wouldn’t it be possible to ask for this information when the pattern is listed? A bit like on eBay—size, material, occasion...—just here it would be hook/needle size, material, material usage. 
Especially when crocheting little animals, this information is often missing, or it just says to use a suitable hook. But that doesn’t explain how big the animal will end up being.
Sunny greetings 
Sarah
