MEASURING FOR A THIMBLE

There are several ways you can measure your finger to order the right size thimble to fit you just right.
The thimble sizes are based on US ring sizes.

Measure the finger at the base of the nail on the finger that you want to wear the thimble. For taller
thimbles, measure between the base of the nail and your first knuckle.

1. Use a plastic strip ring sizer (free upon request) to measure the finger for the thimble.

To use our plastic ring sizer put the tapered end into the “box” then pull to make a circle. Slide
it onto your finger to the base of your nail. If the thimble is tall, place the circle closer to your
first knuckle. Read the number at the point of the arrow for whole, and 1⁄2 sizes spaces. The
sizer should slide on and fit snugly enough to avoid falling off.

2. A metal jeweler’s ring sizer will work, as well. Stop by a jewelry store and ask them to size your
finger for the thimble.

3. Use a narrow strip of paper and tape it into a circle around the finger you want to measure, at the
base of the fingernail. Cut it and measure how many millimeters equal the circumference of your
finger. Compare it to the chart below to determine your thimble size.

41mm=1.75 55.3mm=7.5

41.5mm=2 56.6mm=8

42.7mm=2.5 57.8mm=8.5

44mm=3 59.1mm=9

45.2mm=3.5 60.3mm=9.5

46.5mm=4 61.6mm=10

47.8mm=4.5 62.8mm=10.5

49mm=5 64.1mm=11

50.2mm=5.5 66mm=11.5

51.5mm=6 67.3=12
