Handy Ruler

This ruler is one of those tools that you wish you had invented. It is super handy to use, and will keep frustration at bay when you can’t find your ruler or your measuring tape. I anticipate lots of knitting projects that will benefit from the use of this handy ruler.

Disappointed

The Work Until Measuring Tape is so far off from accuracy it isn’t useful to me. I wanted to knit until 2 inches. I placed the loop on my needle between 2 stitches as per instructions. Just looking at the distance drop between the loop and 2 inch lock appeared greater than 2 inches. The measurement between the loop on my needle and the tape locked at 2 inches was really 2 3/8 inches. How is this a useful tool? Is there a use secret?

Oh no Karen, I'm so sorry for the confusion 😔
This is never the experience I would want for you! I just feel absolutely terrible about this!

The measurement starts from the cross on the stitch marker and goes until the end of the tape and is 12.5' / 32cm long.

Please know that I always want you to be happy and comfortable with your purchases, and I'm happy to take a return for a full refund.
Let me know if you'd like to do that, and I'll send the return information right away.

Thanks so much for your help! I can't tell you enough how much I appreciate you!

Great tool

This is a great tool. I love that I can hang it off my needles and measure as I knit without having to dig around in my knitting bag to find the measuring tape. With is tool you never over or under knit rows.

Measuring Tape

The measuring tape is a very convenient tool because it is always connected to my knit project. I can quickly check my progress in reaching the required number of inches.

Work until measuring tape

I could hardly wait to get this in my hands; I literally took it out of the wrapping and put it on my knitting needles as I was knitting a pair of socks and they were not the same length.

Handy little thing, but….

I bought this from my local yarn store and was SO looking forward to using it. Unfortunately, it broke on my first use when trying to move the slider. Hey, things happen, so I put a Little glue on it. That worked for a few days when the measuring tape started to tear. So I used a tiny piece of tape to repair that. Alas, the tape wasn’t enough and today the measuring tape split not two pieces. I also see that the other end of the measuring tape is coming apart as well. I’m not sure if I just got a defective one or if this is how it is. But I’m willing to try again. If it stays together it’s a very handy tool.

Oh no Rita, I'm so sorry!
Thank you so much for the picture, the poor thing!
That shouldn't have happened and is most definitely a defective Work Until Measuring Tape 😔
Not to worry, I've always got your back, and I'll send a replacement to you lickity split!
I'm so happy you think this is a very handy tool and you're wanting to try a new one!
Thanks so much for your help and for being so understanding!

Good but could be better

I bought three measuring tapes. I love the idea but think they could be better quality. A flimsy. Also, they should be longer. 13" is not long enough. The sweater I'm working on calls for 16.5" length. I was looking forward to using the measuring tape on but can't. 😥

Hi ​Bryndis!

​I'm so ​happy you love the idea of the Work Until Measuring Tape!
Since the measuring tape measures up to 12.5', to keep track of the length and to be able to knit further while measuring, you can place a stich marker once you've knitted to 12.5', then continue knitting until you get to the length that you want.

I'm also so sorry, I understand if you're not liking the quality of the tape.
I want your pretties to be absolutely perfect for you!
I'd be happy to take a return if you decide they're not going to work for you.
Just let me know what works best.
Thanks so much! 😊

Measuring Tape Stitch Marker

Perfect for my sweater and tee knitting so that I can easily see how much more I need to knit before starting the hem.

Genius idea, poor quality

This really is a great invention. However, less than a week later, the measuring tape split lengthways all the way down the middle.

So freaking clever!!!

OMG. This is exactly what I never knew I needed. LOL. It makes it so simple to see where you are in your project length without having to stop and find a measuring tape. I tend to knit past where I should. Now, with this as my end of round marker, I can quickly see. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Wonderful products

Every time I order something from Twice Sheered Sheep it is the best quality and always helps in my knitting process. From row counters, needle stops, to the new tape measure. What a genius idea. Everything is made with care, packaged beautifully, and is mailed straight away. Don’t forget the tin to store your items in. They are a great size to add to my knitting bag.

Best knitting tool

This is the best knitting tool I have bought in a long time. It makes knitting so much easier. Just look and see where you are . None of the stopping measuring and getting back to knitting. Just a a glance and tada. Thank you for stocking this great tool.

First received, not perfect but second one works like a charm!

I think there was a production glitch on the first "measuring until tape" received - it wasn't sturdy, but Twice Sheared Sheep replaced and so far the replacement looks solid and works as expected. Grateful for the tool and for their help with the replacement! Recommend shop.

So handy!

I'm using my tape for a sweater and I love not having to interrupt my flow every 10 rows to measure my work. I don't know how I've gone this long without one.

WOW

This is so easy and fun. I wanted it as soon as I saw it and then accidentally ordered 2. Well, who has only one project going at a time that needs to be measured? Not me. Love it.

Handy measuring tape

I only used the tape once. So far I find it handy to use instead of trying to find my ruler. Need to get used to moving it along the needle. I’m glad I bought it

Great when knitting a hat or something that changes yarn or pattern after so many inches!
