Needle gauges by Addi is the perfect tool for your needles! These lightweight and durable wooden needle gauges are just what you need to size your needles!
The addiCalibro is a wooden needle gauge from addi. It's a simple tool for one job: telling you the size of a needle that has lost its label.
Every knitter eventually has a drawer of needles with no labels. Many double-pointed and circular needles lose their size markings over time, and some vintage or imported needles are labeled in a system you don't use. A gauge settles the question in seconds.
It's light and durable, small enough to keep in a needle case, and useful to knitters and crocheters at any level.
Gauge the needle's shaft rather than its tapered tip, and go with the smallest size it fits comfortably. Once you know the size, label it with a dot of nail polish or a small tag. When you start a project, knit a swatch even with the right needle; see our gauge guide for why your gauge may differ from the pattern's. It works for crochet hooks too: gauge the shaft just below the head.
Keep the wood dry and store it flat in a case or pouch, where it won't be bent or knocked. A gauge kept with your needles is one you'll actually reach for.
