World’s Smallest Sock Blocker – a Handy Needle Gauge!

Personalized especially for us, this wooden needle gauge is in the shape of a sock blocker, with an opening at the top to attach it to a chain or ribbon. the best thing about this gauge is that it contains every metric size, from 2.0mm to 9.mm and all the corresponding US sizes as well, from 0 to 13, including two #1’s (2.25mm and 2.5mm) and two #3’s (3.0mm and 3.25mm) to allow for the ‘in-between’ metric sizes of needles that we have no equivalent for in our US sizes.

This is a very useful tool — $10.00
