Slip this ruler right into your sock while it is still on the needles to easily gauge when to start the toe (or the gusset/heel if you are knitting toe-up socks). With inches, centimeters, US Men/Women, and Euro shoe sizes etched right on, you'll always get a perfect fit! This handy ruler can be used in a few different ways. The length of a foot can be measured by standing on it. It works well to do this against a wall so the part of the heel that sticks out the most is in line with the edge of the sock ruler. Adult socks typically have 10% negative ease, so depending on how much negative ease you like in your sock you can either use the corresponding shoe size or add in or subtract the percentage of ease you'd like. (Our sock size mini tool has the math for 10% negative ease worked out so they work great together). Once you're knitting your socks you can use the inch/cm ruler to measure the height of your cuff for either toe up or top down socks. You can stick the ruler into top down socks, with the zero edge up against the heel of the sock, to measure what shoe size or inch/cm measurement you're approaching in your knitting. If you're knitting toe up socks you can hold the sock up against the ruler to measure the shoe size or inch/cm measurement. Adult socks typically have 10% negative ease and measure approximately 1/2" or 1.3 cm shorter than the foot length and 1" or 2.5 cm smaller than the leg or foot circumference. This information is etched onto the sock ruler as a reminder. Product Details: Material: Birch Approximate Size: Adult: 12.75” x 2.75” x 1/8” - Kid: 10.75" x 2.25" x 1/8"

This handy little niddy noddy tool is used to wind the yarn you've spun into a skein off of your drop spindle or spinning wheel bobbin. Its press fit construction holds it securely together while in use, yet it easily collapses flat into two pieces for easy storage. It is easily taken apart and reassembled. The diameter of your skein will be 1 yard which also makes it useful for skeining smaller amounts of spinning. Its short length allows it to fit easily into your spinning bag, making this the ideal travel tool for any spinner. No more trying to jam a standard 3 yard niddy noddy in only to have it hang out the top! To assemble, hold a piece of the niddy noddy in each hand and match up the slots. The two ends will be perpendicular to each other with the long part of each piece forming the center shaft as they come together. To use your niddy noddy you'll be holding it at the center of the shaft. Start by wrapping the loose end of the yarn around the top left end a couple times, trapping your initial wrap underneath your working yarn to secure it. From the top left you'll cross down and under the right handle, then back up and over the left end of the top handle, then back down under the right end of the lower handle. Once you're out of yarn, weave the loose ends of your skein through to secure them and prevent tangling. Then slip the yarn off the ends of the niddy noddy handles. To twist the yarn into a skein, slip the fingers of each hand through either end of the skein and twist in opposite directions until the yarn twists back onto itself. Tuck one end into the other and you have a twisted skein. Product Details: Material: Bamboo Approximate Size: 4.5" x 10" when assembled 5" x 7" x 1/4" when collapsed Because they are made of a natural material, the appearance of each niddy noddy may slightly vary.
