Different designers use different terms to describe the size of crochet hooks and knitting needles. The Handy Gauge tool has a size conversion chart for US, UK and metric sizes, so you can find your size at a glance.<\/p>\n<p>Most hooks and needles come with their size marked on them but it often rubs off. The size slots make it easy to check not only your knitting needle size but your crochet hooks too, without struggling with the shape of the hooks.<\/p>\n<p>The tension gauge slot makes it easy to accurately measure the number of stitches and rows in your tension\/gauge swatch, which is important for sizing your project correctly. Marked in both centimeters and inches, so it will work with both metric and imperial measurements.<\/p>\n<p>As a bonus, there is a little slot to attach your stitch markers so that they are always handy. (Stitch markers are not included , they are available separately.<\/p>\n<h4>Size<\/h4>\n<p>14 cm x 8.5 cm<\/p>\n<h4>Available as<\/h4>\n<p>The Handy Gauge Tool comes in packs of 1<\/p>\n<h4>Delivery:<\/h4>\n<p>We custom make all our ColourSpun Craft Accessories, Tools and Notions.
