Measure your project as it grows.
Keep a ChiaoGoo retractable tape measure beside your knitting, crochet or sewing. The flexible tape is useful for checking garment lengths, comparing pattern measurements and measuring around curved pieces.
- Flexible tape for straight and curved measurements.
- Retracts into a compact white case.
- Easy to keep in a notions pouch or project bag.
A useful everyday measuring tool
Check sleeve and body lengths as you work, compare a finished piece with your pattern schematic or measure a blocked swatch. Keep the tape flat against the work and avoid stretching either the tape or the fabric. For a close stitch count, a firm gauge ruler can be useful alongside the flexible tape.
