New! Silicone Thimbles Available on Etsy
At last! My personal search to avoid evil callouses and rubbed, raw skin is finally over. Now I want to share the love! I just listed these on my Etsy shop today, and have already sold 2 sets. 
The index finger on my non-hook hand had been rubbed raw by my (beloved) aluminum hook until I found these clever little thimbles. They are soft, flexible and made from silicone. Slip one on the injured digit, and you’re sure to be working in comfort from now on.
The silicone material is similar to what you’d find in a baby’s pacifier, only softer, thinner and more flexible. Net result: you have a second skin that doesn’t get in the way of your crafting.
The thimbles measure about 1″ in length. They fit comfortably but snugly on my fingertip, ring size 7 US.
You’ll receive a set of 3 clean, new silicone thimbles. Keep one in your craft room, one in your crochet or knitting bag, and one by the sewing machine. Enjoy!
