Using this value
Either form of this value goes in the google_product_category attribute: the numeric ID (6166) or the full path ("Arts & Entertainment > Hobbies & Creative Arts > Arts & Crafts > Art & Crafting Tools > Thread & Yarn Tools > Weaving Shuttles"). Both are predefined values for the same category. The ID is the sturdier of the two, because renaming any segment above this one changes the path text and leaves the number alone.
Bear in mind that google_product_category is an optional attribute. Google assigns a category automatically, and your value is treated as a signal rather than an override. When an override actually applies.

| SKU-1001 | Your product title | Arts & Entertainment > Hobbies & Creative Arts > Arts & Crafts > Art & Crafting Tools > Thread & Yarn Tools > Weaving Shuttles |
This path has no comma, so an unquoted cell holds it as it stands — which is not true of every category in the taxonomy. The numeric ID, 6166, is the form that does not depend on how the file is quoted.

Questions about Weaving Shuttles
What is the Google product category ID for Weaving Shuttles?
6166. The full path, "Arts & Entertainment > Hobbies & Creative Arts > Arts & Crafts > Art & Crafting Tools > Thread & Yarn Tools > Weaving Shuttles", is the same category written the other way. The ID is shorter, and renaming a segment above this one changes the path text while leaving the number alone.
Is anything more specific than Weaving Shuttles available?
No. Weaving Shuttles is a leaf of Google's taxonomy at level 6, so 6166 is the most precise value this branch offers. If it does not describe your product closely enough, the answer is a different branch, not a deeper one.
Where does Weaving Shuttles sit in the taxonomy?
At level 6, under Thread & Yarn Tools (505387). The chain from the top is Arts & Entertainment → Hobbies & Creative Arts → Arts & Crafts → Art & Crafting Tools → Thread & Yarn Tools → Weaving Shuttles. If your product does not belong under Thread & Yarn Tools, it does not belong here either — check the level above before going deeper.
What should I use if Weaving Shuttles is not quite right?
Look across the rest of Thread & Yarn Tools first — there are 7 other categories at this level: Fiber Cards & Brushes (6164), Hand Spindles (6138), Needle Threaders (6163), Thread & Yarn Guides (6155), Thread & Yarn Spools (6154), Thread, Yarn & Bobbin Winders (6153), and 1 more. If none of them fits either, the problem is higher up: go back to Thread & Yarn Tools (505387) and pick a different branch from there rather than settling for the closest thing on this one.
How big is Weaving Shuttles compared with the categories next to it?
It is seventh largest of the 8 at its level, carrying 0 categories below it. A bigger category is not a better one — it just means more of the taxonomy is still open below you after you pick it.
What is the difference between Weaving Shuttles and Weaving Beaters?
They sit side by side under Thread & Yarn Tools and start with the same word, which is why they get swapped. Weaving Shuttles is 6166; Weaving Beaters is 6167.
