Handmade in Rhode Island, these charming sheep-shaped animal needle gauges from Katrinkles are a must - have for your knitting bag. The holes are precisely laser - cut from bamboo, ideal for measuring knitting needles sized from 0 to 17. Both US sizes and metric measurements are clearly etched above and below each hole, making it suitable for knitters worldwide. After laser cutting, each piece is hand - sanded to smooth the corners and edges. Since they're made of natural bamboo, each needle gauge may have a slightly unique appearance.

Using this knitting needle gauge is super easy. Just pick up your knitting needle and insert it into the holes until you find the one that fits snugly. The clearly marked US and metric sizes will tell you exactly what size your needle is. When handling it, be gentle as it's made of natural bamboo, which can break if dropped or bent too hard. To keep it in good condition, avoid getting it wet as this could damage the bamboo. You can use a dry cloth to wipe off any dust or debris. And remember, because it's handmade, each one is a bit different, so enjoy its unique charm!
