The 15 mm size is fixed; consider checking the Prym 17 mm variant (MPN: 431156) for a larger fit.
Needle slips off the surface

Pros and Cons

- Non-slip design improves needle control
- Bright orange color makes it easy to spot

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, measure the circumference of your middle finger where the thimble rests. The 15 mm diameter corresponds to a size small. Because this is a metal tool, it is largely maintenance-free. To clean, wipe the surface with a dry or lightly dampened cloth to remove skin oils or dust that might compromise the grip. Store in a dry sewing box to prevent oxidation. Avoid using harsh chemical solvents, as these may damage the orange decorative finish over time.
