Anyone have a source for men's thimbles?
[posted to both sewing groups]
I've googled, but everything I have found so far has been in women's sizes S-M-L or 0 up to 7. I have large hands and I wear a 7, it would be too small for my new SIL, who wants a large man's thimble, I'd like to find him both a metal and a leather one. Anyone??? TIA, -- Beverly delete no spam and .invalid to reply |

Here's a mail order link I found that has thimbles up to a size ten, they
carry both leather and metal. Put "thimble" in their search option and you'll find all kinds of them in every category. http://www.createforless.com/homePage.asp Val "BEI Design" wrote in message ...

They actually have one in a size 12: http://www.createforless.com/product...roductID=65290 Now if I can just figure out how the sizing works...

Since DSIL was just recently married, I may be able to get his ring size, but that would be on his "ring" finger, *left* hand. He is right handed. I use my thimble on the middle finger of my right hand, and it's actually a size 9 (I discovered when I held it just right). The fingers of my hands are substantially different in size left and right, I cannot put my wedding band on my right ring finger at all. I'll have to find out on which finger DSIL wants to use a thimble. -- Beverly delete no spam and .invalid to reply |

Here's another potential source: http://www.quiltknit.com/notions/thimble_1.htm I had no idea there were so many types of thimbles, and I'm thinking that my carving protector would also work for a thimble. It's a leather pad which covers the bottom (fingerprint side) of the finger with a stretch nylon cover on the outside. I bought 25 of them on sale once if anyone wants one cheap.

From my perspective, those aren't tiny hands at all. I wear a size 3
1/2 ring, and the only thimble that fits was my grandmother's. Everyone in my mother's family has fine bones, and small hands and tiny feet. I'm a comparative clodhopper, with a size 6 shoe. For someone my height-- 5'7" --it's ridiculous to have such wee tootsies. This thimble topic is fascinating. I've also never wondered how they sized them before. Thanks for bringing it up!

Ah, that clarifies the DSIL--I was thinking your sister-in-law had
extremely large hands, Bev! Karen Maslowski in Ohio BEI Design wrote: Since DSIL was just recently married, I may be able to get his ring size, but that would be on his "ring" finger, *left* hand. He is right handed. |
