Clover Natural Fit Leather Thimble: Small, Lt. Brown, 1

I bought this in May this year and it’s just starting to get to the point of looking to replace it. I’m an avid cross stitcher, I’m disabled and unable to work due to physical conditions, I’m mostly housebound and cross stitching is my way of coping, I do about 4-5 hours (spread across the day) every day, so I think this thimble has lasted well (plus my cat has taken a liking to it and thinks it’s a toy, when I wake in the morning I often find it in the middle of the floor).I can only use leather thimbles due to allergies and skin issues, I’ve tried many different types and this one is by far my favourite. The leather is the thickest I’ve come across, but no so thick as to prevent feeling what you’re holding, it’s soft but durable. The inside is kind of brushed (similar to suede) to make it more comfortable to wear, I suffer Erythromelalgia, a rare disorder which causes intense heat in my hands and feet, I worried that wearing a leather thimble would cause too much warmth in my finger which could result in pain, but I’ve had no issues with that, my finger doesn’t get hot or sweaty.I have tiny hands even for a woman and the small size is perfect, it stays on as long as I need without struggle and without being tight either, I have short nails and it comes down to just below the knuckle below the nail. The leather is stitched very well, there’s no signs at all of it coming apart, others I’ve tried are glued and fall apart in a month or two. There is no metal plate inside this like in others, but honestly I’ve had no issues with the needle piercing the leather until recently and I have some stubborn needles when my canvas is heavily stitched and I’m filling gaps. It has now gotten to the point where the area I use to push the needle has started to wear and with stubborn stitches the needle has gone through the leather a few times, but the leather is thick enough to slow the needle down so it’s not actually come into contact with skin yet, but it’s a matter of time at this point, that being said any material will show signs of wearing down and weakening after daily intense use so this shouldn’t be seen as a flaw, it’s just natural.For the occasional needle worker this thimble would last years, for those who stitch an hour or two after work, this thimble would likely last a few years, for those like me or professionals it will last 6-9 months which is much better than any of the others I’ve used (and I’ve tried A LOT).I highly recommend this to anyone who regularly works with needles (sewing not medical 😂)

This was bought fir my daughter who has been doing a lot of sewing during look down. She has very thin fingers and finds a normal thimble falls off. Bought this in a small size she loves it fits well. No more sore fingers.

I like to hand sew and bind my quilts . I’ve tried lots of thimbles can never get on with them .This leather thimble is flexible and most importantly comfortable so you can keep sewing without pricking your fingers.

Only used it once so far fits well and prevented getting a sore finger when sewing.

Excellent leather protector I use for knitting and stops me getting a hole in my finger, and it fits really well.

Great item. Well made and very useful. I would recommend to anyone.

I love using this thimble, it fits so comfortably yet is easily strong enough when quilting with a thicker thread. I have small hands, and the small size is a good fit on my middle finger; being leather, it soon molds to fit my finger even better. Easily my favourite thimble I’ve used.

And I tried quite a few. It’s soft and moulds to your finger, so doesn’t feel like you’re wearing anything. But also fully protects you. I used it for hand quilting, which can be tough pushing needles through all those layers, and it did a great job.

Can never use standard metal thimble as they are too stiff, This fits well, works well and I can use it.

Nice fit. Great for hand sewing/quilting.

ich hab noch nicht damit genäht, das muss ich erst üben. Aber er sitz perfekt. Mein Mittelfinger hat einen Umfang von 4,8cm und Größe S war die richte Wahl.

Nice comfortable to wear for long time

It’s very helpful to do sewing.
