Hand-Sewing Thimbles
Our pick
Clover Protect & Grip Thimble 6026 Medium
Choose fit first. Start with the 6026 for a flexible body and metal pushing cap, or choose the adjustable brass 6018 or leather 6029 for their different constructions and stated fits.12345
Why this one
- Start with Clover Protect & Grip 6026 if its 15.5 mm Medium size fits the finger you use to push the needle. Its flexible body and ridged, dimpled metal cap give you a fitted body with a defined needle-pushing surface.1
The alternatives
Other contenders
Clover Adjustable Open Sided Thimble 6018 Medium
Choose Medium 6018 for adjustable brass construction: four flaps let you adjust it around the finger, and the open top provides ventilation. Clover cautions that the needle can slip depending on the angle.23
Clover Natural Fit Leather Thimble 6029 Medium
Choose Natural Fit Leather 6029 if its 16 mm Medium fit suits your finger and you prefer a leather needle-contact area without seams or stitches. Check its stated fit separately from the 15.5 mm 6026.145
Buying advice
- Remove the 6026 by folding back its rubber edge, and keep it away from prolonged direct sunlight or heat. Check the fit before choosing a construction or pushing surface.1
