Reclaim the charm of traditional craftsmanship with the Merchant and Mills Wooden Folding Ruler.
Before the era of plastic tapes, the folding ruler was the standard for tailors and woodworkers alike, offering a rigid, reliable edge for precision work.
Made in Sweden, this 1 metre ruler is made from high-quality wood with durable brass hinges, allowing it to fold down into a compact size that fits easily into a drawer or tool kit. When extended, it provides a perfectly straight edge superior to a flexible tape measure for flat marking.
It is ideal for measuring flat lengths of fabric, marking straight hemlines, or checking the grainline on a pattern. The wooden construction offers a satisfying tactile experience and won’t stretch or warp over time, ensuring total long-term accuracy.
Beyond its practical utility, this ruler is a beautiful object that reflects a commitment to heritage tools. Whether you are working in a professional studio or at home, this ruler is a reliable, timeless implement that brings a sense of history to every project.
