After years of requests, Cocoknits has finally made their own version of a tape measure. The bright colour will ensure you can always find it in your project bag. The metal tape inside measures both inches and cm/mm (78 in / 2 m long), and has a metal tab on the end to keep it from retracting into the body of the tape measure.

Because Cocoknits is committed to avoiding plastic wherever possible, they manufactured it from PLA (polylactic acid), a 100% biodegradable plant fibre made from fermented plant starch such as corn, beets, or sugar cane. It is not water soluble, so can be cleaned with a damp cloth. The absence of a locking mechanism keeps them 100% plastic-free and reduces the likelihood of breakage.

Each tape measure is packaged in a reusable linen drawstring bag to minimize packaging waste. 

• Dimensions:

  • casing: 2.5 x 2 x .5 in (6.5 x 5 x 1.27 cm)

  • metal tape: 78 in / 2 m long

How to Use
The tape measure does not have a locking mechanism, so hold the metal tab or the tape at the body to keep it extended.
