A flexible plastic is used to make the Cover Swatch Ruler and Needle Gauge. It's made up of two distinct parts.

Selected User Reviews For Clover Swatch Ruler & Needle Gauge, White
I'm surprised by the number of positive reviews for this gauge ruler. The numbers are clearly labeled, but the ruler is not particularly sturdy. It's thin, flexible plastic, so getting an accurate measurement is difficult unless you're measuring on a flat surface with an extra hand. I usually crochet in bed, so it's a waste of time for me. I would not have bought it if I had known it was so bendy. I won't return it because it was only $8, but I won't use it either. To replace it, I'm going to buy a wooden one on Etsy.
This creates holes that allow you to ACCURATELY determine the size of your knitting needles. When the numbers are low, it is difficult to determine which needle to use. Things range in size from 0 to 3, with a wide range of sizes in between. As someone who knits socks on a regular basis, the needle size is critical. The sock will fit a larger foot if you go up one size. It's possible it won't fit if you go down a half size. Despite this, both will be designated by a single number, size 1 or 2. I measured the needles using an electronic caliper. They're accurate to a tenth of a millimeter. 01 mm. Now all we need is for needle sellers to size their needles accurately. Please sell me a number two. The needle count is 75. This is usually written as a 2, but it can also be written as 2. 5mm. You never know until you've got the needle in your hand.
I lost my small 1" window swatch ruler and went on the hunt for a replacement. I could have gone back and bought the one I misplaced, but this one is far superior. I didn't get it for the needle size, but it'll come in handy when using addi cords, which make it difficult to read the needle size, and Chiaogoo, which must be held in the exact right light to read the engraved number. br>I didn't need the crochet hook sizer because my hooks are all clearly marked, but I'll keep it in case I need it. The 4" swatch window was the primary reason I purchased this. I've been attempting to swatch sweaters with a tape measure or a 1" window thingy I had. A 4" block is used to measure a real swatch. This isn't even close to being flimsy. It flexes a little, but not enough to flop or bend if I hold it out by the corner. It's about the thickness and consistency of a credit card, and it's perfect. I'm very happy.
And the answer is a resounding YES to that query. This is ideal for crochet hooks whose sizes you don't know or for crochet hooks whose sizes have rubbed off. It's particularly well-suited to any of the ergonomic crochet hooks available on Amazon. They're usually available in UK sizes rather than US sizes. In terms of thickness, I believe it is sufficiently thick to prevent it from breaking. So, if you're debating whether or not to purchase this, I strongly advise you to do so.
Clover consistently produces excellent products, and this is no exception. Having a swatch ruler, knitting needle gauge, and crochet hook gauge all in one place is both durable and convenient.
is an excellent resource This is something I use every time I finish a granny square for a quilt I'm working on. Do you want to make certain that each square is the same size?.
But not in a bad way. It's extremely useful for measuring stitch gauge when I use it as a tool. br>br>However, I ordered it to use as a gauge for measuring the size of my crochet hooks. Crochet hooks come in a variety of styles and brands. None of my hooks are measured by this gauge because they are marked. br>br>I usually use number three. 75 mm to 6 mm My 5mm's fit perfectly in a 5mm when using this gauge. The hole should be 5mm or 6mm in diameter. This is a huge pain! I'm looking for a new tool to help me gauge my hooks.
Very nice product! I've been looking for an accurate tool for determining what size hook you're actually using, and the swatch part fits your gauge perfectly. It does not appear to be well-made in my opinion. It's almost as if they laminated some thin cardboard. The tool will need to be handled with extreme caution, or its accuracy will be compromised, rendering it useless. Despite the fact that I think the construction is flimsy, I would buy the tool again because it is the most accurate to date.
