The Merchant and Mills Tailor’s Thimble is a professional-grade tool designed for serious hand-sewing and tailoring.
Unlike common household thimbles, this version features the traditional open-top design preferred by master tailors.
The capless tailor’s thimble, you will notice, has an open top for tactile fabric control. It protects your finger without affecting dexterity. British engineered. Lacquered to prevent discolouring.
Size medium – 18mm in diameter.
The open top allows for better airflow and tactile feedback, preventing the finger from overheating while still providing essential protection where the needle is pushed. Made from durable metal with deep, recessed dimples, it effectively grips the end of the needle, preventing slips.
This is particularly vital when working with heavy wools, canvases, or denim where you need to apply significant force. The ergonomic fit ensures comfort during long hours of hand-stitching, reducing finger fatigue and protecting your skin from repetitive pricks.
Merchant and Mills tools are celebrated for their functional beauty, and this thimble is no exception—it is a timeless addition to any sewing kit. Available in 18mm diameter, it provides a snug, secure fit for every maker looking to improve their precision and comfort.
